@mention following slash generates notification but no <a class=mention> tag
-
Continuing the discussion from This title is It's MLPified. Pray I don't post more ponies.:
There is a @RaceProUK/@accalia joke in there somewhere, but I CBA to find it.
i got a notification for this post. let's see if this is a thing or if there's some trickery involved....
@zoidberg/@sockbot
-
@accalia has summoned me, and so I appear.
-
Hooray! I'm a teenage heartthrob again!
-
hello there. so there is a bug!
:-D
-
Escape characters not (unintentionally) working in DiscoParser? The hell you say...
-
the escape character's the backslash isn't it?
AFAIK the slash character should have no special meaning to the HTML parser.
-
Wrong slash... (goes to the dunce corner)
-
reported on meta.d....
where interestingly the bug does not manifest.Yes it does manifest. when the reporter is not a dingus and uses the wrong slash.
-
Hrm...
As reported here (removing @ to not do mentions):
zoidberg/sockbot
As you reported there:
codinghorror\sam
Besides the names, what is different? (hint: you alluded to it in an earlier post)
-
yeah. i just noticed that.
got it right two out of three times, messed up on the one that counted.
-
-
The question is will this nifty little trick will help you bypass the mention limit.
-
What's the number it's set to? Also, does it count mentioning the same person twice?
-
I don't think it count the same mention twice.
going by this thread the limit seem to be set on 10

nope, that is enforced server side, so I am pretty sure it will not take.
-
hmm... meta.d topic was edited to remove the link to this topic.
.... why?
-
prevent pagerank pollution?
-
Because it's us?
-
Because it's us?
if it were another admin that edited i'd just assume that and move on. according to edit history it was @sam
-
Weird. Did you PM @sam? I've had links survive, though I posted them so they didn't onebox. Maybe that's why?
-
Did you PM @sam?
hmm... maybe if the curriosity gets the better of me. i'm mostly out of meta.d anyway, so there's not much point in complaining. It's not like i want to be a part of that community when one of the founding members is by all appearances (although i'm sure he doesn't feel that way) overly hostile towards anyone that frequents this particular instance (a point of view i'm sure some here have not helped).
i'd gotten there from a bug report here and noticed the notification.
-
I'm there less since the "don't spam my history" option got removed.

OK, well, maybe he'll show up here. I'm interested because I still talk over there.
