Server upgrade was successful. Sorry for the downtime.
Thanks.

I finally had some time to take care of things  :D
It's not about the quantity of your posts.  It's about the quality.

Any chance in heck of ever getting a tagging feature, like Facebook has? e.g. When someone writes "Paging so-and-so", if they would start the name with a @ (like this: @so...) and a small list would pop up of suggested names of members that match what has been typed already (like when adding a recipient to a PM). The name would then be hyperlinked in the post to the member's profile, and the person being mentioned would be somehow notified that he was mentioned in a post.

This would be especially useful for catching someone's attention in a thread they don't follow. For example, on more than one occasion, someone has written "paging Moishebatchy" and I didn't see it until weeks later, or written something about me (and mentioned my name in the sentence), but I never got to comment on it because I never even knew it was there.

Just google any feature you want and SMF Mod.
If it exists I'm happy to install it.

The Wiki is the only thing on this site that was actually built from scratch.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Apparently, I'm not the first person to want such a feature, then.

ETA: Here, too.

Right. But FB introduced the idea of auto-suggesting the name as you type, IIRC.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

Not sure if we have this yet, but I want to be able to use a spoiler tag in messages, so when loading many pictures on a page, I can hide them too allow the page to load fast, then when I want to view those photos I can open them.

This may help http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=195

When quoting from a different website, is there a way to embed a url in the "Quote from" field?

Doesn't work on quotes. :(

Enclose it in code tags.
