Forums

How do I search the forums?

Update: Kongregate search has been fixed and you can now search the forums from the site. Its only an exact word match search though, so if you need more results you can still use the search provider listed in the next paragraph.

Install the Kongregate forum’s search provider into your browser, found here. You can then search the forums right from your browsers search bar, by setting the provider to “Kongregate Forums”. Note that the provider is just a simple xml file, not an application, so there is no need to be concerned about installing it.

If you don’t wish to install the provider, another way to search is listed below.

Someone is spamming, trolling or flaming in the forums, what do I do?

Please do not feed the trolls. Posting “mods lock please”, “stop spamming” or even “geez nice bump” does not help. Instead, report the post here or point it out to one of the forum mods.

How do I quote someone?

Type bq. at the beginning of a line before the text to be quoted, or use the > character instead.

Example:

bq. This is a quote

Badges & Cards

Before you make a post entitled “I WANT mORe BAGES!1”, please consider that there have been countless threads before yours saying the same thing. Kongregate staff is aware of this and is working diligently to bring you more badges.

Also keep in mind that this requires the cooperation of the developers, its not something Kongregate can do on their own, at their own pace.

I want to suggest a badge!

Please use the badge suggestion thread. Please remember that Kongregate cannot create a badge for a game if the developer hasn’t implemented the Kongregate API.

I didnt get a badge/card!

Follow the instructions in the Badge & Challenge Problems and tech support General Information stickies.

Thank’s for making this thread arcaneCoder. It could really help new user’s a lot.

Arcane, you might want to include this: You can find all games that have a certain tag by typing this URL: http://www.kongregate.com/tags/action?type=games

Of course, you change the tag you want to search for by replacing “action” with the desired tag. :D

well this is a really nice thread, it answers all the questions i asked 1 month ago

How to search the Kongregate forums

The user “dazzer” recently said:

Why is there STILL no way to search posts in forums? :(

Short answer: You can search the forums. Skip the “long answer” and use the link below it to search the forums.

Long answer: It’s true that Kong provides no decent forum search features (note to the Kong team: Please finish the card game first. Thanks). I’m sure they’ll have them eventually, but in the mean time, Google provides you with the ability to search the Kong forums without having to download something for your browser.

To search the forums simply use this link.

Just be sure to change the radio button from “Search the Web” to “Search www. kongregate.com /forums”. Unfortunately you have to do that every time you load up the page, but it’s a small price to pay for quality Google search functionality.

Google for president.

Hi arcaneCoder, 1 more link: Guia de Formatação em Português it’s a translation to Portuguese based in Phatcat Formating Guide.

No, only admins can create new rooms at this point.

How does eggy have a chat room?

I have a question, where do we send recommendations for new mods to?

I have a question, where do we send recommendations for new mods to?

I think current mods have to nominate new mods…

I know, but to do that, they rely on the players to send some reports if they find that a user has shown outstanding qualities, I believe; and with all the e-mail addresses I’ve seen, I’m confused as to which one I send it to.

Send it to Feedback@kongregate.com (they all get to the same person eventually), or you can E-Mail Greg@kongregate.com (I’d send it to greg first though)

A ha, thank you Phatcat.

A popular question seems to be how to change your profile picture should you add details on how to do that aC?

Can you make this post available here..

http://cocak.blogspot.com/2008/05/kongregate-re…
