I'm thinking about adding some custom code to the forum software to support @username style notifications.

That way, i would be much easier to get someone's attention in a thread/post.


What does the collective think of this idea?

A great big YUP from me.

Posted by: Tarrs Apr 3 2014, 10:31 AM

Definitely yes

Alright, here is the first version, let me know what you think!

- You can use the "Notifications" link in the upper right corner to see a list of the last 20 notifications you've received.
If needed, we can bump up that number.

- If you have new notifications, there will be a number in a RED block in front of the menu link.

- Going to the notification page will automatically mark them off as 'read' and the red number will go away.

- You can use the @Username tag in new posts, new topics, replies and quotes.

- You can *not* tag yourself. Duh!

- Currently, you can *NOT* tag people with usernames that have special characters or spaces. I'm still working on that part.


Now, lessie if this works

Worked for me

Posted by: Negative Apr 3 2014, 04:32 PM

This will be a quick way to get to someone for crafting swapping as well. Excellent.

Posted by: Tarrs Apr 3 2014, 04:59 PM

Agreed, this will be super helpful with crafting. Worked for me too!

Posted by: Tnliverpool Apr 3 2014, 05:29 PM

Worked here as well. Will be a nice help for crafting swapping.

Posted by: Negative Apr 3 2014, 05:46 PM

Awesome. I'll use this chance to spam once that we now have an easy http://www.thesidekickorder.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=79 to fill out to be able to edit all the spreadsheets that have been made over the in http://www.thesidekickorder.com/bbs2/index.php?showforum=16.

The entire process should be pretty painless now.

Alright, i promise this is the last time (if it works) ...

This should now also include usernames with special characters and even spaces!

Just getting my spam on @http://www.TheSidekickOrder.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=2

Did it work

Edit, looks like you can't add punctuation after username.

Posted by: SirAndy Apr 3 2014, 07:35 PM

Damn it! That's because i added the dot to the valid characters for usernames.
But, i know how to fix that ...


Get ready for some more spam!

Posted by: SirAndy Apr 3 2014, 07:41 PM

Ok, looks like this is fixed, @http://www.TheSidekickOrder.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=19.

Posted by: Jessabella Apr 3 2014, 07:53 PM

I found a bug!

Posted by: Tnliverpool Apr 4 2014, 02:17 AM

This is a really nice feature. Thankfully we are all adults here and won't randomly spam people like @http://www.TheSidekickOrder.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=2 or @http://www.TheSidekickOrder.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=19 just to be a nuisance.

Ok, that is out of my system now

Posted by: Lunachik Apr 6 2014, 10:58 AM

Totally worked, yay!

Posted by: Tobania Apr 6 2014, 07:54 PM

I had a notification! I had a few, actually.

Posted by: Seikon Apr 15 2014, 09:10 AM

Yay!

Posted by: Soren Apr 22 2014, 01:09 PM

+1 on epic feature =p
