stupid question

If you're not on mobile its to the right. Mobile is lacking. Haven't figured that out myself.

Someone said that, as long as you include "Big Green Egg" in the search term, Google actually finds more on this forum than its own search engine._____________

Check this thread. Tells how to do it on Google and other engines.

I usually highlight the persons name the same way you would copy and paste text. Type the @ symbol and paste the name. Works fine for names with spaces too. Only problem is if persons name is not readily available to copy.

Apparently "Little" joined October 21st and hasn't posted anything yet.If there's a space, like in "Little Steven", I think you can hyperlink it, the little chain to the right of "insert image" on the tool bar. Just copy the member name to your clipboard, open the "insert hyperlink" dialogue box, and copy the link where indicated.Vanilla might not notify for that, but you can flag a member that way for someone to find.

Since the title of this thread is "stupid question" let me add to it:
Is there a set of "operating instructions" for the forum tucked away some place?
Is there a way of seeing the members list?
Is there a list of previously blocked websites that BGE forum software won't let through? I tried to quote @caliking with his listing of the yard & pool website that had a sale for Black Friday ... darn thing eat my posting twice.
What's the subtitle of "Activity" used for ... how does something get in there. Can it be used like a sandbox for testing? i.e. let me see who picked my first choice for a screen name. Have to write a comment with " @Jeepster " in the write-up, post it, then go to the posted comment and click on "@Jeepster" ... think that will work ... is the "Activity" subtitle okay for that? Or, do I have to sneak it in like this?
Does joining "Q" and "Little" a space, and "Steven" with a hyperlink really work? Let's see @Little Steven Hmmm that didn't work very easily ... had to find a posting that Little Steven made, click on it, and then use the URL for his profile to form the hyperlink. That probably doesn't alert him, just gives one a link to his profile. How did you say that was supposed to work again? Maybe it'd be easier if Little Steven changed his name ... how about Little_Steven ... that should work yes? Can we change our profile name?
When I click on my profile, the URL has the number "133409" in it ... is that a member number?
Why don't we have a forum folder for "stupid questions" ... and their answers?

Jeepster47 Thank you for posing those questions. I have wondered the same things. For some time I wanted to know if clicking "Flag" just saved it for me, or did it do something else. Apparently something else. I even posted a question similar to yours to the member who posted the Rules and Regulations or whatever they are called. Been a few weeks now, guess he doesn;t know either. :x :x

@Little Steven does that work for notifications?
-
Some websites seem to be blocked as determined by the infinite wisdom of the mods. Don't worry about it. Work around it.
And don't worry about trying to mention LS in a thread since nobody has quite figured out how to send notifications to folks who have spaces in their handles, like Cen-Tex etc. Have you seen how many posts LS has? he'll read the thread anyways, whether you notify him or not (I still love ya, LS).

My phone does the prediction when I start a notification and that's how it comes up for little Steven. Didnt know if it really works or not.

Did figure out how to find someone's profile quickly. Simply type www.eggheadforum.com/profile/ ... then add their screen name and press enter ... don't worry about capitals. So, for Steven, it'd be www.eggheadforum.com/profile/LiTtLe StEvEn ...
Still don't know what the numbers are when entering the profile off a hot link.
