Weirdly, it's still saying January 22 in the "Last Message" column, even though there are now plenty of new posts. These guys should just install SMF forum software or something...

That last post thing is really buggy on announcements.

@06Bon06, hello and thanks for the guide! I have bookmarked and certainly will be checking on it just in case I can't remember something .

Also, I don't know if this is going to be of any use, but while testing I discovered that the maximum character limit (in one post) is 24000 characters and the maximum amount of lines (in one post) is 94 lines. Sorry if this was already mentioned .

@06Bon06 I have a question, and you may know the answer.

How do you tag a person who has spaces in their name?
I use the @ and then start typing their name and click it in the drop down. Then it adds double quotation marks around the entire name so it looks like this: @this name and then it only highlights the first part of the name (as you can probably see), before the space and redirects to my own profile. Should I add underscores or is there another way to do this?

@MDianaSanders

I wasn't even away there were names with spaces o.O I think it's most likely a glitch like we had a while back with the _ not tagging people. I'll tell a guru ^^

Is there a way to narrow search bar results to just one specific game? Every time I search using the search bar it only brings up posts about Sims 3, when what I'm looking for is about Sims 4. That is also all that I found when searching this question through the search bar, so I'm sorry if this question has been addressed somewhere...

@cfraser10
Hey there ^^

this is the perfect place to ask this question.

Firstly search the term and when you results pop up there is a little arrow next to what you searched on the new page. Click it. The 3rd option will give you a option to search by category.

If you need more help feel free to ask me, I'm sure this is already in the tutorial if you need pictures ^^

Soooo I found 1 of these "spaced names" and found that if you click their avi, and look at the bottom of the screen it will show you what characters are missing Ref: (Ping Yo) is [@Ping%20Yo]... However tagging them doesn't notify them and yea it gives them quotation marks "Ping Yo , its wierd but the only workaround I figured was "quoting them", Guru namechange, I even suggested that simmer put the Ref: Ping%20Yo in thier siggy, and let people know they don't get notified... If this gets resolved @06Bon06 please tag meh.

06Bon06

@Vici0us_Virus Aww your siggy link I notified SimguruDrake about this problem a while back and another so hopefully it gets resolved soon.

Vici0us_Virus

Thank you very much for notifying SGD ,yea I billboard your thread and have done this since you finished it... I had the same idea lol to make this thread, I asked rosemow for some feedback on it. She told me yours was close to finished, after I read it I realized, you nailed it and I wanted to rep it to help others...

I do credit you when ppl give thanks and ask them to thank you here, for the great work/service u've done for this community. Thanx again Bon...

Ps. *Claps hands* to bring Rachelumma back!

I keep forgetting the forum code to post Twitter conversations on here.

@Scobre
I don't use twitter much so I went to look. All you do is click the last button under the tweet which is 3 dots, select the option to copy the tweet link and post in in here. The forum will change the link to the tweet on it's own.
