Tagging people with spaces in their names

ladyceres

We've installed a plugin to allow this now. To do it, you must start with the @ symbol and then put the person's name in quotes. So @"Lazy Cubimal" or @"Eris Lord Freedom" will tag the person. You may have seen @sanotsuto doing this already - I hope all the tags don't come through all at once!

Let us know if you're not getting the notifications or if there's anything else wonky in general!

Sanotsuto

@ladyceres Yes! I am super happy about this!

Lazy Cubimal

Nice, thank you!

rasamalai

Thanks! I was having trouble with that too

gizzyglitch

Hi! @"laycubimal" just trying it out.

Sanotsuto

@gizzyglitch try it as @"Lazy Cubimal" (in quotes exactly as you see it on screen)

Justin

I just now saw this. @"Lazy Cubimal" does it work?

Sanotsuto

@Justin clicking the tag sends you to their profile the same it does for someone without a space in their name, I'm guessing it's good

Mike Rosoft

Can I join the party, too? And, by the way, can I tag myself? @"Mike Rosoft"!

rasamalai

@"Mike Rosoft" you're derailing the thread, we're tagging @"Lazy Cubimal" to see if it's working!

Lazy Cubimal

Hahah. I don't think I got these notifications.

Liza Throttlebottom

@"Lazy Cubimal"

Lazy Cubimal

Sorry, I did get them. You can continue the tagging party though! :P

Liza Throttlebottom

... @"Lazy Cubimal" :'D

Lazy Cubimal

Lazy Cubimal

Does it work for you (me) if I (you) do it, @"Lazy Cubimal"?

Liza Throttlebottom

@"Lazy Cubimal" Did it work? @"Liza Throttlebottom"

Lazy Cubimal

It did! I wonder if it would work twice in a row though. Scared to try, so I'm trying with you, just in case. @"Liza Throttlebottom" @"Liza Throttlebottom" now to figure out if the same would work with @"Lazy Cubimal"...

Liza Throttlebottom

I just got one ping : )

Lazy Cubimal

So @"Lazy Cubimal" works...
But the quotation marks don't work with people with other characters in their names, such as periods.

For example with zoom.b:
@zoom.b
@"zoom.b"

b3achy

Does that mean the zoomba isn't getting our @zoom.b messages?!

zoom.b

nope, nothing, zilch, zero, nada

what due to the deep content of the subject maybe is a bless :P

zoom.b aka "the untouchable"

b3achy

So very sad for the awesome @zoom.b...

Varaeth

I updated the plugin settings so that it'll recognize "." in names, so mentioning @zoom.b should work now

zoom.b

ty @Varaeth

you guys are embarassing me, never had my name mentioned so many times (for good reasons at least)

Anyways I was not notified so I checked the preferences box, and the "notify when my name is injured" checkbox was only selected on the e-mail (that also I didn't receive, not sure if it's the forum mail, or my login e-mail, but none)

so now I checked the other(popup) box too to see what @b3achy says about me next (she looks awesome even when lying)

b3achy

Thanks bunches @Varaeth

@zoom.b @zoom.b @zoom.b ....lol (((hugs to you too))) *eyeroll*

zoom.b

lol ty guys, it's working fine now!
