Is this a new forum feature ? (WP.com)
-
I was wondering if this is a mew forum feature for everyone or only for staff and moderators
I just discovered by clicking on someones avatar that it will display their public site names. Here is a screen shot –> http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/2136/forumfeature.png
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Doesn’t work for me, so I suspect it is only for staff and moderators. Volunteers are apparently still left to pester the users for their blog URL’s and then explain why we need it.

Well that sucks I wish staff had this available for everyone so volunteers could have this nice tool at their disposal. :(

For about 10 minutes about a year ago, I had all kinds of new pulldowns in my grey admin bar at the top of the screen, and the scary thing was, that they worked and I could “see” things I should not have been allowed to see. I was about to contact staff and alert them when I was kicked off of wordpress and forced to log back in and it was all gone.
-
Wow,I remember that. I’m going to log out clear everything and see if that changes anything.
-
nope didn’t change anything I will see after I wake up if I still have this feature. Thank you everyone for your input. :)

Moderators should have that information available as they are “almost” staff. Volunteers, or regular users probably not though. Of course I would not gripe if I had that feature and would only use it for the betterment of wpblogkind.
:-)

I will gripe either way: either I’ll complain because I do all the heavy lifting, asking for the damn URL over and over and everyone hates me for it and I don’t have this spiffy new power OR I’ll complain that I got the power and I’m not willing to take on the responsibility it implies.
-
that automated message guy asking for blog links seem to not appear as often as it use to. But, Id love to have this magical power, they already know who the regular volunteers are, it wouldnt hurt to give this special power

@aw1923, if they don’t select a wordpress.COM blog from the pulldown when posting a question, the auto response is triggered as it is if they select a non-wordpress.COM blog. The thing is I think some are slipping through because the select an old blog they aren’t using from the pulldown, but they are now self-hosted.

Just to clear things up, the feature mentioned by t3ck is available only to moderator profiles and up to allow quick access to the user’s blog(s), as “wpblogkind” has a tendency for omitting blog URLs from support requests. Or at least so raincoaster tells me…
-
…”wpblogkind” has a tendency for omitting blog URLs from support requests [here in the forums].
I’ll verify that. I have a copy/paste file for use here in the forums, and the request for a blog URL is at the top of it.
