Post Any Site Bugs Here

[MENTION=548]TJ[/MENTION] Did you get this one? The other post I edited it until I got it to work (first few tries it didn't work because I left a space when there shouldn't have been) so that may have been why you didn't get an alert.

 

Nope. Nothing. Just checked my profile to see if I had them disabled, and I don't, so it must be the short username thing...

 

So, I wonder if manually entering the user number and name with mention tags works at all, other than to provide a clickable link to the user profile? None of the ones I did with changed usernames seemed to work in the Ragmans Angry Yelling Thread, I would have expected a response from a couple of them at least, lol. Lets see...

Testes, testes 1 2 3 - [mention=1533]PrimantisAddict[/mention]

...and now the normal way - [MENTION=1533]86WARD[/MENTION]

Did it work?

 

I got one notification. Try it the real way in one post and then the "manual" way in a second post. You might be right ...

 

[mention=1533]IsaacRedmanLover[/mention]

 

[MENTION=1533]86WARD[/MENTION]

 

No.

Yes.

Only one notification. So I think you are correct in that the "manual" mention, really doesn't work...

[MENTION=1]SteveRobWhatever[/MENTION].

 

So what exactly is the issue? The short names or trying to use the mention with something other than someone's username?

 

[MENTION=1]SteveRobWhatever[/MENTION] ... manually entering the mention does send a notification nor does changing the name attached to the mention. Where we thought that if we entered the mention manually, it was notifying members, it actually isn't.

 

nor?

 

I think that should have been "doesnt send the notification", not does. Not like it's a big deal, but It'd be nice to be able to manually enter the TJ's and Omens and have them work.

 

They do have the option to choose a larger screenname, being that they are staff members.

 

Yes...should be doesn't...

 

testing...
[MENTION=548]TJ[/MENTION]
[MENTION=547]Fez[/MENTION]
[MENTION=555]Omen[/MENTION]

 

I think the problem is solved. I had to set the minimum username length from 5 to 2, then update the user name table in the site's database.

It should work for [MENTION=548]TJ[/MENTION] and other now.

 

So little bug fixes like this are done when you're gone?

 

I'm not abandoning the site 100%. Plus I can't just leave and leave bugs that I know need fixing. That's just not cool.

Damn you heckers....I can't even give you guys up 100%. :icon_frown: :bong:

 

Yes!! I got this alert

I figured it had to be something like this. Now we can all annoy [MENTION=548]TJ[/MENTION] with mentions. :icon_cheesygrin:

 

I don't think that [MENTION=548]TJ[/MENTION] would appreciate that very much.
