Just pushed up a massive update. [h2]PM button now shows unread convo count[/h2] [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/spa/quq37nq1583x0lf/1f6c4st6.png[/img] - I chose to show unread convo count instead of unread PM count because it's simply more useful. - If someone creates 100 PMs in a convo with you, then it will just add 1 to that count instead of 100. - Notification count is updated when you view the convo. - You can reset the counter back to 0 by clicking "Clear Notifications" from your convos page. [h2]Better URLs for user profiles[/h2] - User URLs have been changed from [code]/users/42[/code] (user ID) to [code]/users/hank[/code] (username) - Now it's actually possible to navigate straight to someone's profile if you know their username. - To convert a username into its URL-form (the user "slug"), just convert the username to lowercase and replace spaces with "-". For instance, if a user's username is "My_Name Is George 123", then their profile URL is [code]/users/my_name-is-george-123[/code]. - Old-style URLs (e.g. [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/users/1]/users/1[/url]) will redirect to the new username-based URL. This is so that old links don't break. [h2]Experimental @Mention system[/h2] Example: [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/spa/quq37nq1583x0lf/d_wmshfm.png[/img] -> [@BBeast] @Mentions will soon send notifications to the users you @Mention (maybe a max of 5 per post), but the notification part is not yet implemented. Notes/caveats about @Mentions: - It's experimental - Even if you wrap a @Mention in [noparse][noparse][/noparse], [noparse][code][/noparse], or [noparse][pre][/noparse] tags, the mention will still be parsed. Low priority issue, though. - They are case-sensitive. Compare: [@mahz] vs [@Mahz] - If you try to mention a username that's not in the system, then it won't work. Example: [@ThisUserDoesNotExist] - Quoting will automatically mention the quoted person. Example: [quote=@Mahz]Test[/quote] The idea is that you should receive a notification when someone quotes and replies to you. Kinda like Reddit. TODO: I need to tweak it so that if you quote a post with nested quotes, then the inner quotes should not trigger @Mentions. TODO: Typing "[@" and a couple characters will trigger a small username-suggest pop-up like Twitter and Facebook. TODO: @Mentioning someone will actually send them a notification
