@uberbatman, OMG, first to whisper in a reply

I feel special…

@buster YAY!!!!!!

@buster WOOT!

o kay i copied pasted to do that

@PnL: Love this new feature, but my ‘answer box’ keeps moving around. WTF?

@PnL This doesn’t really count as chatting, does it?
Hi! HI!

@augustlan i think thats cause so many people were responding

isthat how you do it copy paste?

@buster, No honey, no.

im so terrible at this you all are pointing fingers and going hahaha buster stupid

@Nimis – i was just kidding with the mod comment :)

I am so confused. :-(

ok ay iwant to put allie up what do i do?

@PnL I wasn’t taking you very seriously. Heehee…

@Judi – why are you confused? and would you like me to PM you the chat room link?

@Elumas I can talk to myself!!!!!

@buster- you have to get rad with the @buster button

@buster type @allie then hit enter

@buster Go, Buster! Go!
Copy and paste is like training wheels.

@PnL @Nimis @buster @Judi @omfgTALIjustIMDu @Allie @augustlan @blastfamy @prancer @vixen @donder

@PnL I don’t know what this cool thing you’re talking about is.

@queenzboulevard And Blitzen!
I feel like it’s Christmas—except I’m actually getting what I asked for!

@Allie

@buster (high five)

this may be the fastest response rate I have ever seen…

@buster HELL FUCKING YEA!!!

@Tali

@buster nevermind…

@blastfamy – if you think this is bad, you need to see the rate we talk at in the chat room.

@buster you have to use her fluther screen name omfgtalijustimdu

NICK YOU NEED TO USE MY USERNAME, NOT JUST “TALI”

@uberbatman

@buster Huzzah! Doh! Huzzah!

@uberbatman

yeah i can do it

@buster gets there in the end. Slow and steady wins the race.

@PnL, actually, I just tried to get in, and my link stopped working either that or my email/pass combo wasn’t working… PM me… please?

@richardhenry DICK IS HERE!

i think my favorite part of this whole feature is the fact that i can be lazy and not type the users name :)

well so much for our nicknames

@Allie, You’re favorite!

@omfgTALIjustIMDu does it have honey?

@PnL Stop confusing people with mod comments. It’s not nice.

@Allie @blastfamy @richardhenry @buster @queenzboulevard @PnL @Judi AND @Nimis PANCAKE!!!

@Allie, I supposed that’s up to @richardhenry

@Judi @blastfamy – check your PM please.

@Nimis I love pancake.

So are we all appreciating the new feature then?

@uberbatman: 23 minutes, 94

thanx for your patience homies that was a challenge for my mind

@richardhenry Err…understatement. On both counts.

@buster, We <4 you :)

@Nimis Where is my pancake?!? Must have pancake.

@augustlan For you? A whole towering stack of pancakes!

@omfgTALIjustIMDu @lunabean @uberbatman @blastfamy @elumas @peedub @nikipedia More pancakes!

Hmmm…not all users came up on my pull down list thingy?

@Nimis – I had pancakes for breakfast today!!!!!! Oh wait. That could be taken the wrong way on Fluther….

Wow. So good, she had to say it twice.
Nice breakfast, PnL.

@PnL i had them yesterday for brunch. I don’t get this whole fluther pancake thing though. What am i missing?

@PnL I had breakfast for pancakes today?

@omfgTALIjustIMDu – pancake

@richardhenry – stop confusing me!

@buster clearly this is some arcane geek black magic not meant for the rest of us

Hello? Is it OK to answer now? ::looks both ways:: Good.

This new feature is very nice. Thank you.

Edit: @Nimis It is very nice. It’s the dropdown list of responders that’s magnificent!

@aprilsimnel Nice?! Get thee to a thesaurus, woman!
This is much more than just nice.

@PnL It just showed up. I get the awesomeness now.

I had pancakes long before breakfast this morning ;)

@augustlan, Kinky ;)

@Nimis This new feature is admirable, amiable, approved, attractive, becoming, charming, commendable, considerate, copacetic, cordial, courteous, decorous, delightful, ducky, fair, favorable, fine and dandy, friendly, genial, gentle, good, gracious, helpful, ingratiating, inviting, kind, kindly, lovely, nifty, obliging, peachy, pleasant, pleasurable, polite, prepossessing, seemly, simpatico, superior, swell, unpresumptuous, welcome, well-mannered, winning, and winsome.

@richardhenry Look, I’m replying to myself.

@richardhenry You’re hilarious. Hahaha!

If I could GA myself, the ego stroking would be complete.

@dick i think youve done enough stroking already

@richardhenry, We’ll know if you do.

@uberbatman, Nice. Or should I say…ingratiating?

@uberbatman You’re rather disproportionate, foot-in-mouth, ill-fitted, ill-suited, ill-timed, improper, inapplicable, inapropos and malapropos, young man.

@omfgTALIjustIMDu What, stroke myself, or give myself a great answer? ZING

@omfgTALIjustIMDu That seems kind of dirty that the other moderators
will know if RichardHenry partakes in a little stroking.

Only if they have a UV Light!

What @augustlan said.

@augustlan Ha!

@augustlan Now that’s a callback!

@uberbatman thanks for asking this question! i just thought everyone had adopted the JA habit all of a sudden, and i wasn’t too excited about it, so i didn’t even click on the @everyones until i read this question. plus now i get to practice @uberbatman -ing you, and @omfgTALIjustIMDu-ing you, and @Judi-ing you. hey, this is fun!

@PnL

Now, what exactly did I just do?
Type slowly, I’m a little slow this evening.

@strochuck <—I know that doesn’t work, I just had to type it out.

@AstroChuck Hey! You should try to get 10 lurve and ONLY 10 lurve
from now until midnight. When you get your +1 lurve for the night—voila!
You’ll have some nice looking numbers.

ATastrochuck, just type the AT symbol, and then wait and see what happens. you should see a list of the users on this thread.

(i just discovered apparently this feature doesn’t work when you’re editing a response. it wouldn’t even post it with an ATsomeone)

the other cool thing is, when you click on the links, they take you to that person’s last quip.

You must be typing too fast because I still don’t understand.

@AstroChuck

Nice, even works on the iPhone. Prettyfreakinawesome!

Now what?

What’s it supposed to do? When I click on it it just opens a duplicate screen.

when you click on one of the new links, it should take you to the person whose name it is’s last quip.

I don’t mean to sound dim but what is its purpose and why is this awesome?

Now my up and down arrows aren’t working to change lines in an answer I’m fiddling with. Not just in this question, either. They don’t move my cursor at all.

@astrochuck, i believe the purpose is to easily identify the original comment that provoked the response, and the reasons that it is awesome are because it’s new and it’s convenient.

(@augustlan, my up and down arrows seem to be working fine, but i was having some issues with them on another website earlier tonight. you don’t have firefox, do you?)

Gotcha. My brain is like sorghum tonight.
Thanks and lurve.

All this talk of up and down. Hmmm I must visit the removing stains question now.

@judochop, don’t forget your sock!

@uberbatman

@La_chica_gomela : Nope, not firefox. Hmmm.

@AstroChuck

@petethepothead

@petethepothead oh this is great.

Why do I sometimes get the drop-down and other times I don’t?
Why doesn’t it work at all if I type something and then go back to start the line with it?
Why can I no longer navigate within my question with up and down?

Don’t feel bad. I’m not sure I really understand the whole pancake thing!

@loser:
Pancake

You’re welcome ;)

@syz, after i started playing around with it, the same thing happened to me: sometimes the drop-down menu shows up. other times not.

@augustlan: Oh! Thank you!!!
How on earth did I miss that question?!!

Oh goodness.
We’ll have to catch you up.

@Nimis, Wow, I have NEVER been this exhausted in my life. But it’s the good kind of exhausted.

Oh my goodness!!!

Ahhhh.

@AstroChuck did you figure out what is awesome?

b@man

I want Nimis to come back so she can yell “pancake” at me when I’m having a bad day.

@WillWorkForChocolate Nimis is a girl jellie. She had a babby, and had to leave us. :)

Awwwwww. But isn’t babby older now and she can has fluther again?

I remember when I found out Nimis was a female…
