I was told when I summon someone it doesn't work I was wondering if anyone can shed some light on the matter

Invictus: You mean like that? All you do for summoning someone is to put their username (correctly spelled and whatever) and put a colon behind it. That's just about it. Now sometimes, there can be a summon fail but it happens to all of us.

catfight09 :


except, ironically, you failed.


Invictis :


i noticed that, although some of your summons worked, idk why but this sometimes happens.


1st point, its not case sensitive but if you put in spaces or wrong characters it will fail.


2nd point, if you hit reply next to the comment youre replying to, it is mord likely to work.


3rd, put summons on there own line, that generaly increases the odds it will work, not thenumberone :maywork, ocassionaly that screws it up or turns it into an emoticon

so


thenumberone :


reply on next line


4th copy and pasting names increases the odds it'l work, sometimes you dont even need the colon if you copy paste but put it in any way.




hit reply to my comment, then try the other things i suggested (on the same reply, different lines) and see if you get any working.


if a reply worked, the summon name will be the same colour as that users, e.g


Invictis :


is greenish blue.


also, if you click that summon it should take you to there profile.


Oh and good job, correct forum this time =p

Dude, for some reason you are not ding it right. Let me get you some help, while showing you how to summon properly...

I think you guys are the best fit to help him. Want to give it a shot. I already tried to help him in another thread somewhere. You guys are also pretty famous too. Thought I would help you guys get a little more fan base.

I don't think we need a bigger fanbase. Being globals, practically everyone who uses the board regularly knows us. =|

I'm not sure why the summons don't happen sometimes. All I can say is double check your spelling of the name and make sure there is no space between the name and the colon. You might sometimes have to put a space after the colon, though.

Also, summons don't work if you try to edit a post. They can only work on your initial submission of a post.

Invictis : you apear to have goten 1 of them right.
Although i wasnt notified.
Davideo7 : iv seen this quite a lot, i dont supose you know why?

tRIUNE :

Behind or after

MasterDash : What, lol?

The colon goes after. Just testing.

Some users have had failed summons lately, not sure why, hopefully I'll eventually get time to look into it.

I have looked at a few of your posts in other threads where you try to summon someone, and 9/10 times, this is what you are doing when it doesn't work:

rcarter2  : See that? often see you putting a space in between the username and the colon like I just typed it there. You do that a lot. If you look at that post here where you tried to summon thenumberone three times, you will see that the third summon did that. It won't work if there is a space in between those. 

That is what I see the most when I notice your summons fail.

rcarter2 :
Ok that does help. And there r so many of u so ill just do this all at one thank you all for the help
