Support NeoGAF

[sn00zer]

You're welcome.

Noticed a lot of posts that are quoted posts go unreplied and people cannot properly respond because they didnt realize they had been quoted in the first place. Here is a simple way to use the search to see if you have been quoted.

Spoiler

PM'd two mods to see if i could get the okay for this thread and after a day I got no replies so I assume this is alright.

EDIT: guess you can just type in your username.....not sure if there is a work around for poeple with words as names

DBLEDIT: If you do not have a unique username use this...thanks Neuromancer

This is what I've been doing for years.

1. Go to Google.
2. Enter

site:neogaf.com "Originally posted by [your user name here]"

3. Hit enter, click search tools, pick 'Past 24 hours' or 'Past week', then select 'Sorted by date.'
4. Bookmark this page for future reference.

Thanks for this

 

[Coreda]

Good tip for those that missed it in the beta thread

 

[Memento_Mori15]

They should just bring back the who quoted me feature. However, I didn't know I could do this so thank you. I always thought people ignored my posts that didn't contain questions.

Evilore said it was a big strain on the system or something like that.

 

[Ryaaan14]

There are people who don't know this?

Doesn't work if your username is a regular word.

 

[Uncle]

Doesn't work if your username is a regular word.

Yup.

 

[User 100115]

Nope, doesn't work. Heh

 

[Horse Detective]

Who quoted me was the best thing about this place.

 

[jtb]

I don't even bother with the whole "quote=" part. may as well get in all the other times people mention me too

 

[Dennis]

Who quoted me was the best thing about this place.

Yeah, best feature.

I hope they can make it work without taking too many resources someday.

 

[Takao]

I've been using this for a while.

 

[Horse Detective]

Yeah, best feature.

I hope they can make it work without taking too many resources someday.

I can't be bothered to type in my username so many times per day.

 

[jediyoshi]

Yeah, best feature.

I hope they can make it work without taking too many resources someday.

 

[Uncle]

I'm not sure that the = or brackets actually do anything, since it seems to search based on the keywords:

Search: Keyword(s): quote, uncle

And I seem to get the same results if I just search with those words.

 

[BronsonLee]

I just type in my name. And then ignore everything

 

[Takao]

Oh, and this doesn't work on NeoGAF Mobile right? Or at least it didn't when I tried.

 

[krae_man]

Only works when your username is unique.

Nope, doesn't work. Heh

Works for me

Oh, and this doesn't work on NeoGAF Mobile right? Or at least it didn't when I tried.

It works on Mobile but the default result is threads not posts.

 

[sn00zer]

anyone know of a work around for common word user names?

Google search with "Originally posted by" works but unfortunately it doesn't work on GAF.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Thanks for this. So many funny quotes and posts i've missed.

Like that Haunted House and Hot Tub thread

Google search with "Originally posted by" works but unfortunately it doesn't work on GAF.

hmmmm

 

[EightBitNate]

If your username is uncommon, you don't even have to bother with all the coding stuff. Just search your name.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Doesn't work if your username is a regular word.

Just search "Originally Posted by gamma"

 

[plainr_]

Thanks for this and the other tips in this thread.

I tend to revisit threads days after and when I see my posts quoted, I feel it would be too late to respond.

 

[ComputerMKII]

Doesn't work if your username is a regular word.

That's why I've asked for mine to be changed.

Get your username changed.

 

[hateradio]

I think the issue is that the search strips out the equal sign, which makes the search more broad for common-word user names.

When I'm on the computer, this is literally what I'm doing every 5 minutes.

 

[Milchjon]

Just search for the name, no need for the rest.

It's the easiest way to keep track of your conversations.

There should be a link you could save as a bookmark so when you click on it it automatically searches for the last posts containing your username.

 

[Vesmir]

Doesn't work for the jerks who quote your post without quoting you.

"Like this."

 

[davepoobond]

Doesn't work for the jerks who quote your post without quoting you.

"Like this."

then they don't get a response. they should learn how to quote like a civil human being.

 

[KillerIsJed]

The quote=username thing was working till today for me. Not sure why...
