I heard some people at my school talking about this site and thought I might check it out.

Not sure what else to put here...

Hi, welcome to Egg Cave😊

@kivuli - 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.

@sparklefire so this is called pinging?

So, for clarification, if someone wrote on my wall, I have to write on their's. Does that show up as a notification then?

Also, thank you two for the welcome 😊
