@nick0tine

Hi! I wrote on your wall and fed your creatures. Collecting and feeding creatures is like 90% of what Egg Cave is all about haha, so you'll pick it up pretty quick.
If you want to reply to someone's forum post in a thread, click the little bell icon on the left and that'll ping them and let them know you've replied (or you can just write their username and put an at sign in front of it, like I have with yours above).
If you want to reply to a message that's been put on your wall, go over to their profile and write on theirs 😊
Keep a close eye on the site blog posts and they'll let you know what's going on.

@nick0tine - Welcome to Egg Cave! If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.

If you are replying to someone, you should ping them. Otherwise, they won't know that you've done so. To ping someone, either click the bell icon under their username in the forums, or type an @ followed by their username (e.g. @sparklefox ). You can only ping up to five people per post.

Checking out the Forum Rules and the Site Guidelines would be an easy way to start. Other useful links are the FAQ and eCode.

A common mistake from newbies is that they'll ping and reply to people using their own wall. Pinging does not work out of forums and the blog, and to reply to people's comments you go to their wall instead.

I apologise if you knew any of the above information already.
