Silentdarkness1 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 This is more of a forum thing than a DS thing, but I feel like this will get noticed easier if it's here. Sorry if it's clogging the place up. Looks like the forum admin removed the old mention system, and instead lets you put out a mention by highlighting one of the member's posts and then clicking Mention. Honestly, this seems a bit annoying. There has to be an easier way to do this. EDIT: Besides typing in the code manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Letter W Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 You can just highlight a word instead too. It's interesting, but I'm not sure how useful it will be considering it requires them to have posted in the thread prior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiet Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 If you can still use the old @username system, I'm fine with it. @Blewcheese Nope, not so fine with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeW Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 The mentions were causing some conflicts with the forum, so it was changed around a little bit. It will come back at some point in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosten Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 ........W8. There was a way to do it without typing in @[member = ???]. I've done it that w8y my entire life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You used to be able to just type @Member and the forums would handle it for you automatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the truthseeker Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Technical;y this is in Status Updates, but is there a reason some people can post clickable URL links there and others cannot? I am in the cannot group when using Google Chrome if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silentdarkness1 Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 I understand you guys moving it to off-topic. I just hope that not too many people end up not seeing this topic as a result of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palpetinus Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Rules are there for a reason. What belongs into the DS forums? DS stuff! What belongs into the Off-topics section? All the other stuff! It's that easy. I think I could make my 10 year old bro figure that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silentdarkness1 Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 I put it there because more people would notice it. My reason still stands. I think far less traffic goes to the off topic section than the other subforums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palpetinus Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Why would it matter how much people notice it? That won't make Klei solve it faster, they're onto the thing and that's that. Anyone who doesn't know about the new mentioning can run a forum search for this, that takes like 20 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snob Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 No offense, but I don't think people would care enough for a feature like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silentdarkness1 Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 A common thing is the forum members not realizing they could just do a forum search...lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palpetinus Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 If they can't do a simple forum search then that's their own problem.I don't want a forum to get clogged up because of attention-threads that are unrelated to the sub-forum. You don't go into a pub and announce that you go to the cinema now to raise awareness of a new movie, would you?Everything has its proper place.

Snob Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 The forum search itself is a complete joke though. Not sure if most people know that googling's the best option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can inform people locally if you're worried about RP, no problem. It would be perfectly on-topic there, since mentions can be vital to RP.
