The FastDay Forum

What an awesome idea. I would like to suggest some ideas for the list of hashtags. Hopefully, that is okay here.

Code: Select all

#recipes #scale #tweaks #ADF #43 #thyroid #insomnia #insulin resistance #supplements #stall #plateau #weighin #fastbenefits or maybe just #benefits #hack #100calories #lowcarb #paleo #hungermanagement #horizon #maintenance #TDEE

I really love this idea!

Fab idea Moogie, especially as now that we have so any members, particular threads vanish into the depths very quickly.

(I sometimes wish that people would continue a thread rather than starting a new one with almost/exactly the same title.)

Hashtag, smashtag...

These --> # used to be called pound-signs or even octothorpe but are just another subtle example of how languages change over time.

Did you know that ! and * are pronounced as bang and splat in the formerly important data-entry world?

But not by anyone in the UK I think, because we know they're not and our keyboards can do proper £ signs!

Oh dear - drag me into the 21st century, someone, please!
Being a musician, I always thought of # as a sharp. (and to type it on my mac, I had to do alt 3 - i.e. the £ sign!

I've always known that symbol as hash, but to me it represents an internal anchor point marker in an HTML document, so I always hated 'hashtags' as to me and any other webdev out they they are internal anchors. Guess we don't have much say in how language evolves though!

Oh, fish cakes... I must be suffering from a severe deficit in grey-matter functioning as however I type @moogie (or izzy or xxxx) it doesn't convert to a link. I thought it might be my strict settings on Firefox but this is from Chrome and still no luck. I've even tried copying the link in and bunging an @ in front and various permutations and combinations with hashes. It's something simple / obvious I'm sure but *sorely embarrassed* help please?!!!

@FatDog When you want to tag someone with the @ symbol, you'll need to be in "full editor" and highlight the name you want tagged then click "tag"

Or type in [ tag]persons name[/tag] (but without the space between the [ and the t) if the name corresponds to a user you get the proper tag, thus: @FatDog

Oooh thank-you both @carorees and @Betsysgr8 - sorry not to reply earlier but was hitting those too-many-users errors whenever I tried to login / look at anything until just now! Cheers, FatDog.

I tried posting #sixteeneight in a blog reply and it wouldn't convert to a link, do hashtag's work in the blog section?
