Dear Yankee Bastards,

Thank you for the 19°F morning, but we did not order it here in Dixie.
Please recall this shipment as soon as possible.

Sincerely,
The Tar Heel State

It depends. When everything is working properly, it isn't bad.
Of course, everything breaks when it is needed most, so at the moment, I am burning more wood than usual.
I am building a simple heated floor system, so next winter should be much easier.

Six and a half years after this post, I'm the director of engineering at WGN, and responsible for making sure that the aforementioned news of a bunch of dudes hitting a little round rubber disc into a net with a stick more times than some other bunch of dudes is nationally televised.

Life is weird...

[utag=12720]Godless Commie[/utag] Only you don't have to add the "= NUMBER", just the correct name (Number gets added even though I put the noparse).

Yields: @Godless Commie

Every time you use the utag feature it PMs the user. If the user has instant email notifications setup for PM, they get an email. If they have a cell phone with email notifications setup, they get a buzz/ding/ring. Unless IB changed it, multiple uses of the same utag per post over multiple posts will send out multiple PMs and thus multiple emails...

Theoretically, if a person who tends to post a lot put a utag in their signature, that would be highly annoying.

That's why I did it. that part does not work :(

But we do have like 2 pages of posts in Aidan's build thread where we did nothing but utag'd someone (probably Hi_Im_Sean) just to see what happened.

I wonder if it actually doesn't work. I don't think tagging yourself works. So lets do a test.


Please work please work please work

It was @deezums. He said his phone was useless for about 20 minutes as it separately notified for all 100+ tags.

Yeah, I don't think sigs get read by the system. Note how the above quote does not include your sig.
