highvoltage Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Another question I asked under the previous administration (I don't remember the answer): Is it possible to allow users to tag other users in a post? Much like Facebook. It's not an available feature yet. We're using the latest version of IP Board (3.47). The next generation of software is imminent, and when released, will include user tag functionality. Hopefully it won't be too much longer.Correct! Lots of interesting things in 4.0. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmarBradley Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Right now I remember, I believe that's what HV said last time I asked, sorry about that! Thanks for answering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downzy Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Right now I remember, I believe that's what HV said last time I asked, sorry about that! Thanks for answering. The new version of the board has taken way longer than anyone anticipated. I believe it was announced over two years ago but just entered beta testing earlier this year. They're just now rolling it out in small waves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magisme Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Why would you tag someone in a post? I don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosaj Thing Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 It works just like quoting someone. I find it useless, just like the "like system." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magisme Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 It works just like quoting someone. I find it useless, just like the "like system." But quoting someone makes sense since you're responding to what you're quoting. Under what circumstances do you tag someone? Or do you tag them instead of quoting their post? I'm going to stop now. I'm putting too much thought into this.One of these days you will like a post of mine. I have a fantasy that I make a post so epic that you feel morally obligated to like it. Then I mic drop the forum, never to be seen again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I mic drop the forum, never to be seen again.I would use it the same way I do on fb; to bring something to someone's attention or include them in it. Like I said before, I like the feature a great deal. So much stuff gets posted and there's just not enough time to be in the loop on all of it. I'm certain there's stuff I've missed that I would have been interested in, but I didn't see it. On the other hand, I could see why people wouldn't like it as well. Most of the reasons I could think of have to do with trolling but that's something for the mods to handle anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Słash Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 What happened on 27th Nov that there were 2,672 people online? Someone spread a rumor that Axl is gonna be here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Słash Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 This is just a suggestion, there are no themes with only the Original band members, even the themes which have the old band members have the new ones also, so why not make a theme just with the old ones? Sebaz is I guess good in photoshop and editing stuff, so he can make a good theme, This is just a suggestion for the near future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duff27 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Why, may i ask, is the Slash forum called "Five O'Clock" when something more along the lines of "The Snakepit" would seem more appropiate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padme Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Hey mods if Slash is talking about Axl/GN´R in some interview those threads belong in the main GN´R section. It is by far much more interesting and important than whatever bullshit BBF, DJ or Pitman say or do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
