New member introductions: Say hello here!

For me it only works on desktop when nothing is preceding or following it. I'll try it on mobile though just in case. @Unicorn @Cumred_Snektron

Edit. Nope mobile doesn't work.

@Duke "Tape" Eiyeron: Sorry to disappoint you... but I know literally nothing about building hardware. I think keonie29 is the man you want to talk to, he built a sound thingy for the 84+ a while back.

@Unicorn: Yeah, probably it'll get overlooked here... on the other hand, as I mentioned I don't have a CE and don't plan on getting one, so I don't really have any good reasons to follow up on the idea. I'm just throwing this out here in case maybe someone else wants to pick it up.

Edit: Ah, so @ddressing users does work around here! Not sure how I messed it up before.

Yeah it was implemented a few months ago. Omnimaga added it a while later as well. It can be handy, although it's buggy, as witnessed by some members above (in my case it always works except when using Quick Edit, and when using Reply on mobile, sometimes the drop down won't appear, although mentions will still get parsed after hitting submit.

It might be a permission problem, though (IIRC at first I was debating between only allowing staff to use it or all members above 20 posts, then decided to do the latter, but didn't bother checking permissions)

u/Unicorn July 03, 2015, 02:22:54 AM

Yeah,being on mobile might be the problem for me, and the fact that I use Quick Reply.

Nah @Unicorn: @DJ Omnimaga: @CKH4: @Cumred_Snektron: I think the trick is to put a colon (":") after the username

u/alexgt July 03, 2015, 01:04:41 PM

@utz: it doesn't work for me still

I always use PC tho $:-\$

u/CKH4 July 03, 2015, 01:06:26 PM

@utz: that would be a neat trick. It probably doesn't work but here goes nothing.

Darn. Dj is it possible that you set the permissions to admin and users under 20 posts instead of over? (I bet that this isn't it and that the mods just buggy but hopefully)

I'll have to check out later.

u/Unicorn July 06, 2015, 09:20:07 PM

That might be the problem, but I think its just buggy.

u/Dream of Omnimaga July 07, 2015, 05:13:38 PM

Did you manage to get it to work Unicorn, now that permissions are fixed?

u/CKH4 July 07, 2015, 06:46:59 PM

Well lets see, @DJ Omnimaga it is fixed even on mobile with quick reply it seems.

Edit.

thank you.

Hi, brand new here obviously. I'm here thanks to my brother's recommendation. I don't really program calculators (yet?) but I'm a developer, so that has to count for something, right? Ha.

u/CKH4 July 07, 2015, 07:37:39 PM

Oh, cool. Is your brother a member here or just random like hey this looks like a good site? Also what languages/tools do you use to develop?

My brother is Alexgt - so he's not just random!

I'm a front-end web developer. I'm going in the boring direction of management though. I figure if a company needs managers, they might as well have actually geeky ones for the geeks and developers.
