User talk:Najevi

following blog comments
I use RecentChanges, I can see short comments in full, and I can call up long comments or use the "show all" & search trick on the blog page with all comments shown. (I need that to be able to reply.) However, lately I'm experiencing a bug that has made following blog comments via RC a bit harder, but I believe Wikia staff are working on the issue. -- ◄mendel► 20:09, August 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * I've had some limited success using Special:PrefixIndex and specifying the "User blog comment" namespace to be searched and the search prefix string to be something along the lines of: Sannse/Your First Look at the New Wikia/mendel and although that produces several hits it is ridiculously difficult getting to the actual comment thread. The link provided takes you to the main blog page in the "User blog" namespace instead of taking you to the "User blog comment" namespace. It seems to be a redirect but unlike normal redirects there is no obvious link to retrace your steps to the target comment thread.


 * The other avenue I get some success with is searching a user's contribution list (e.g. Special:Contributions/Sannse) for signs of any response to a blog comment made by a specific user (e.g. Najevi). That actually does provide a link to the response comment (via the date-stamp) but it then becomes difficult to view the comment thread that the response belongs to. It may seem tedious searching multiple user contribution pages but at least that search can be informed by any user names that appear in the Special:PrefixIndex search results list described above.


 * Plain old forum pages are so much easier to search than blog comments.

May it be noted that long talkpages (and presumably forums) can be paginated through archiving, if needed. -- ◄mendel► 08:50, September 4, 2010 (UTC)

Your comments about the 2008 new style change
RE: http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Wikia%27s_New_Style_evaluation

I noticed your strong opinions, and see you are involved in the bureaucracy of this site. I am fairly new here. Are you aware of any time were the community spoke up against a change, and the wikia staff backtracked? If so could you include links?

I am asking because I am really opposed to this new blog style, along with the majority of editors.

Please respond on my talk page, thank you for your time. Anno1404 00:56, September 14, 2010 (UTC)
