Who knew!?

Elanhil · **Posted:** January 29th, 2011, 12:47 pm

I just recently noticed this. You click on 'Who is Online' at the bottom and it tells you where people are. WHO KNEW?? It's pretty koolio.

That's strange, it won't let me click it.

Pretty cool, though.

Manda Kondrael · **Posted:** January 29th, 2011, 2:02 pm

It's only a link in the board index and the chat room.

I love that, we used it to spy on Airianna when she was posting the winners for the Christmas contest. Way easier than refreshing the Announcements page a kazillion times.

Airianna Valenshia · **Posted:** January 29th, 2011, 3:28 pm

Yeah, that feature is really scary :shock:

There were four of these guys in buzz posting my every move.

I never noticed that feature before.

Constable Jaynin Mimetes · **Posted:** January 29th, 2011, 6:35 pm

Moving to Q&A.

KathrineROID · **Posted:** January 29th, 2011, 7:51 pm

I love that feature!! Enable guests. One day I saw a guest under "registering."

BushMaid · **Posted:** January 29th, 2011, 9:46 pm

Awesome! I have to check that out... *dashes to see if it works*

Reiyen · **Posted:** January 29th, 2011, 10:30 pm

I knew! The only issue is that everyone in chat appears as at "the index page..." for some yet to be determined reason.

Elanhil · **Posted:** January 30th, 2011, 8:15 am

*sigh* I thought I found something revolutionary. Oh well. :rofl:

I saw a guest 'registering an account' once, as well. But then the new name at the bottom never changed.

Kiev Shawn · **Posted:** January 30th, 2011, 2:25 pm

Sweet! I've wanted to know where people are, but couldn't find them...

Ciela Rose · **Posted:** January 30th, 2011, 2:59 pm

I found it!

Great, Holy Worlds has an inbuilt stalker device.

Constable Jaynin Mimetes · **Posted:** January 30th, 2011, 4:33 pm

I'm now addicted to that feature... :roll:

And I thought when they were stalking Airianna they were using the moderator control panel or something!!! :rofl:

Might I mention that, while in the chat room, I tried this feature on three different people and it got all of their locations wrong? =)

Manda Kondrael · **Posted:** January 31st, 2011, 7:52 am

I think it gets messed up if the person has multiple tabs open.

Rachel Newhouse · **Posted:** January 31st, 2011, 1:58 pm

I can't tell you how much this... disturbed me. Wow.

That's probably true, Amanda, in which case I should remember to always open more than one tab! :evil:

I often do, anyway...

Really, though... that is kinda cool...

Don't you mean the online IP tracker was incorrect?

Andrew Amnon Mimetes · **Joined:** May 14th, 2010, 4:43 am **Posts:** 4458

Well, that too, but I think it was from the IPs...I think often IP addresses don't actually conform "exactly" to where a person happens to be. (Because I tried the addresses on several trackers) But correct me if I'm wrong, because I probably am.

Noooo! My secret spy feature has been discovered! Oh, the humanity!

*cough* Yeah, that feature is pretty neat. I spy on people all the time. It was very handy when Kaitianna was posting the contest results.

Airianna Valenshia · **Posted:** February 2nd, 2011, 1:24 am

*covers eyes* It was creepy!... In a strangely cool kind of way, after it was all over. I had three girls posting my every move to the rest of the anxious HWers. Funny thing was, it was even creepier because I had no idea how they were tracking me. I mean, they knew when I was creating the announcement! Not just that I was in the announcement page, but that I had opened a new post :shock:

I didn't know about this. That is funny.

Airianna Valenshia · **Posted:** February 2nd, 2011, 3:53 am

Yeah, we all laugh now, it was scary at the time

Elanhil · **Posted:** February 2nd, 2011, 6:53 am

I wish I could have been there...

(nice, Evening.)

Kiev Shawn · **Posted:** February 2nd, 2011, 10:19 am

So that explains the "stalker" reference. :rofl:

Nice button, Evening.

:rofl:

Rachel Newhouse · **Posted:** February 2nd, 2011, 11:46 am

Isn't that button just the greatest? I tried to show it to my filmmaking friends, some of whom hate that laugh with a vengeance, but they weren't highly interested... *sigh*

Elanhil · **Posted:** February 2nd, 2011, 1:41 pm

Was it supposed to do something when pushed?

Rachel Newhouse · **Posted:** February 2nd, 2011, 2:26 pm

Turn your sound on, Hilly.

Aris Hunter · **Posted:** February 2nd, 2011, 3:51 pm

That's pretty cool. It does explain the stalking stuff.

Lady Shanai-Irisis · **Posted:** February 17th, 2011, 2:04 pm

Haha, I have known about this since I joined, since the Rebelution has it, as did another forum I was on.

It is oh so handy!

Elijah McGowan · **Posted:** February 18th, 2011, 9:44 am

Yeah, we have it on PCL too.

Elanhil · **Posted:** February 19th, 2011, 10:03 am

It seems I am behind everyone...

Whythawye · **Posted:** March 16th, 2011, 9:14 am

Here's another serendipitous discovery I just made this morning.

If you click Reply, and then scroll down to the Topic Review section, each post in there has a 'Quote' button. If you click one, it will automatically insert that post as a quote in your reply. And it will do it for as many as you click, so you can quote multiple posts with ease.

Isn't that awesome?

Airianna Valenshia · **Posted:** March 16th, 2011, 9:31 am

No way! Cool!!!

I love that feature.

It's a lifesaver when you're behind.

Um...I thought that was common knowledge....It seems I may not be behind EVERYBODY...

Andrew Amnon Mimetes · **Joined:** May 14th, 2010, 4:43 am **Posts:** 4458

I use that feature all the time =P

Rachel Newhouse · **Posted:** March 16th, 2011, 12:53 pm

Jay, you should take this as a compliment - I think that feature is one of the best on the forums, and I was sure you designed that intentionally for the very purpose.

Well I guess the Dark Admin doesn't see all...
Just to go on record, this Alliance member has been wielding that tactic for many long ages... and apparently so has my faithful defender Elanhil:

That's incredible! I didn't know that! I always wondered how people quoted multiple people. I just figured they were dedicated and had a lot of time on their hands. :roll:

Thanks for sharing that info.

*highfive* I end up doing more work in research and Trial&error to figure out the easiest and quickest way...

Who knew!?
