@mention count
Sorely tempting to make an alt account called 'mention', just to see how often it gets mentioned.
(I'm not actually intending to do it but if I was I'd be sure and find out whether novelty accounts are permitted on this forum, and only do it if they are)
-
Pretty sure we've got plenty already. Like @wood.

You can always fake an @mention if you feel so inclined, although it won't actually do anything...
-
It does do something. It generates an invisible user card when clicked.

That depends on what you click first (plus user card bugginess):

i've been meaning to do that for a while too.... never got around to it. though.
-
It wouldn't pick up all the old mentions though, would it?

not sure, but we could try a rebake all and see what happens.... :-D

The Evil ideas thread is… well, you know ;)

It moves the pre-existing invisible user card from below the list of recommended topics to where you clicked. 😒

Easy just put "noko" in the email field what are you some kind of new fage?

Except you don't have a way for the poster to mark their own post as non-bumping. Granted, I only know of one other discussion platform that does have that, and I'm pretty sure that Jeff would never stoop so low as to import a feature from 4chan.

Wait, wait, wait! I just thought of a good one: on Twitter, you can start a tweet with an atmention, and it doesn't get broadcast out to all your followers (in fact, I think they've changed it so atreplies aren't even shown on your timeline at all when someone browses to your profile, unless they intentionally click to select that).

Would that not just summon
@HeWhoMustNotBeMentioned
even faster?
-
I'm not 100% sure what that means. On the bright side, I just googled it, and realized that I put the wrong word there; it's actually "sage" in the email field that lets you post to a thread without bumping it (on fourchan, threads die pretty quickly if they don't get bumped).
-
I had to google it too, and while "noko" has a meaning on chan, "ñoko" is defined by urbanDictionary as:
An anus face from Monterrey, Mexico who is systematically getting bold and his stupidity duplicates by the day.
... Which seemed apt, except the origin.

bitch and complain
Your shift key appears to be broken. Please report to @Carsten_Haitzler to be enlightened.

welll..... poo.
:-P
-
how did notifications work on the community forum?
-
@fbmac You could turn on emails by thread and then get an email for each post.
-
@fbmac you forgot to sage!

Back when the default action after you posted was to be sent back to the recent topics list, "noko" made it instead reload the topic and scroll you to the post you'd just posted. That way, if you wanted to bash F5 to see if someone replied to your post, you didn't have to look through the topic list to find the thread again.

Non-bumping posts are a weird feature, but especially considering how many people use discourse as a support forum, I still maintain they would be useful. How many times have you hit a support forum where someone had the same issue you have, but their solution doesn't work for you, and the helpful post at the bottom a year later received a stern telling off from the
nazismods and got the thread locked.
-
@Buddy The usual thing for support threads is that there's a bunch of people asking how to fix it then the original person comes on and says that they've got it sorted now and that nobody need reply any more. Or they post a link to a (now) dead website saying that the instructions there helped them.
Or that bans everyone who participates.
