Use hash tags anywhere!

January 2, 2012 at 4:57 PM

HASH TAGS - You can now use #hashtags anywhere on Egg Cave. These hash tags will always link to forum posts that are tagged with the respective hash.

As another note, our Forum Rules have been updated. Posts should not contain excessive hash tags or use them inappropriately. Use them in meaningful places to help categorize your content and what you're talking about!

UPDATE - Trade Lot tags no longer clash with hash tags. As an extra note, hashtags can NOT begin with numbers.

peppermintcowboy • 2 Jan 2012, 5:20 PM

@ian - New Years creatures are on their way? Great! 😃 But also a bit late. 😋 Why didn't you just make one of the CC eggs into a cave egg?!

brookie • 2 Jan 2012, 5:22 PM

I don't know if it's the new hash tags or something else but now Egg Cave is really slow for me.

hai • 2 Jan 2012, 5:24 PM

@Brookie Going fast for me.

jazzyleia • 2 Jan 2012, 5:24 PM

@brookie Fine for me :/ but i can't wait for new cave creatures

brookie • 2 Jan 2012, 5:25 PM

It was going fast before but now it's lagging.

whitefall • 2 Jan 2012, 5:27 PM

Not for me. ^^ Try clearing your cache, cookies and history? ^^

elluwah • 2 Jan 2012, 5:31 PM

Wow, this looks great. 😊

whitefall • 2 Jan 2012, 5:32 PM

@Ian When I search, it directs me to the "The page you have requested cannot be found. Perhaps you were directed here in error" page 😸

taffy789 • 2 Jan 2012, 5:35 PM

I don't get it. XD *Is dumb*

Zac • 2 Jan 2012, 5:36 PM

Argh, it should be fixed soon. 😋 #diebugsdie
