Agh! Mea culpa maxima! @MVNLA2! 2! 2! My mind and especially my memory are not what they used to be.
Now I remember why I stopped using that “Notify me about replies” checkmark. Because I have that checked and you included @gelfling I received two email notifications. It may be a small price to pay to snag newbie responses.
When I thought of a…[Read more]

@gelfling Maybe the “What all newbies need to know” forum should be cleaned up/restarted as a place for newbies to ask questions? The posts in that forum are all about what to put in the main post, which was continually updated.

@mvnla2 @gelfling @terribletom Thanks for the heads up. This should be fixed now. It was a bug. Did I miss any of the menu items?

6. You post the same post twice within the same post….twice.
Sorry, couldn’t resist.. I see you edited it, but it was still funny.
Given everything else that’s added in the DSM-V, I wouldn’t really be surprised to see an entry called: Swinophobically-Induced Avian Species Dysphoria-Based Oppositional Defiant Disorder

@gelfling Yep! We’re the Not-so-New New Guys :) I’ve lurked here reading walkthroughs since last fall, but once I came to terms with my AB addiction, I joined on Jan 31st. It’s rare to find a site like this with so many genuinely good people. They’ve helped me so many times, I’m glad to give something back, and grateful they’d give a weird new guy…[Read more]

@gelfling The old-timers may not remember, but I was a newbie myself not long ago. That’s why I offered to update the FAQ. I’ve been here long enough to know my way around, yet I still remember all the questions I had at first. Hopefully, I can address all of them. :)

@gelfling First off, I really appreciate the feedback and you bringing this stuff up.
First things first, awhile back I implemented an email that is sent to new users after they activate their account here. I just tweaked that email to include some additional links:
Hi [username],We are delighted that you have joined, and we want you to…[Read more]

@mvnla – My situation is somewhat similar. At first I left that box checked so that I got email about a comment / post / forum. But then I was getting double email if my name was mentioned in the response. So I unchecked the box and and relied on@gelfling. Everybody needs to cut down their electronic traffic somehow. But I think my priority should…[Read more]

@gelfling — I don’t check the send me e-mail except in forums I started. I guess I probably miss a lot of replies directed to me.
I wish the letter to newbies would be implemented, with or without changes by @BirdLeader, but I doubt it will happen.
I think your suggestions about adding Help or FAQ to the gold bar are a good idea, and the idea…[Read more]Gelfling replied to the topic Letting new users know about @username in the forum All Things In The Nest Forum (closed) 7 years, 2 months ago
@mvnla2 — OK I misunderstood. “The message to newbies has never been implemented as intended,” I took for “It has been implemented, but it’s not yet what we intended.”
What do you think about this? Are you happy with the status quo? I’m realizing that with all of my difficulties getting your username correct that there must be many others who…[Read more]
MVNLA2 replied to the topic Letting new users know about @username in the forum All Things In The Nest Forum (closed) 7 years, 2 months ago
@gelfling — As I said, the message to newbies has never been implemented, so no one receives an e-mail telling them about the site.
MVNLA2 replied to the topic Letting new users know about @username in the forum All Things In The Nest Forum (closed) 7 years, 2 months ago
Hi @gelfling — The use of @username is discussed in the FAQ which can be found under the About drop-down menu on the right of the gold bar at the top of the page.
The FAQ needs to be updated, but most of the information is correct. (@BirdLeader, @AMSlimfordy).
The explanation of username vs nickname may not be as clear as it could be. Although…[Read more]Gelfling started the topic Letting new users know about @username in the forum All Things In The Nest Forum (closed) 7 years, 2 months ago
I can find no place where people, new to this website, are told that if they use @abname in a comment that the person will be notified.
Just now I went back to a comment that I made several months ago, and found several people complimenting my idea (which would have been nice to hear!). I had no idea about these comments because I did not check…[Read more]

Any thoughts? Trying to figure out how many coins can be gotten in the game.

@Gelfling – The carbonite reward bug has been very beneficial to me as well. The only character I have yet to earn from it is Leia. It won’t be hard to score 100,000 points with her, once I get a few of her in my character swap inventory. Hopefully, we’ll gain some more in-game achievements in the next update that will give me enough coins to…[Read more]

@Gelfling – The episodes prior to Rise of the Clones started out with four bonus levels (two each in the bird side & pork side) & then gained four bonus levels in a subsequent update. If Rovio follows this pattern, then we’ll get four more levels (my guess is when the 5th episode is released).
Unlocking the last three reward levels will take a…[Read more]reactive1 replied to the topic ABSW2 Coins: How to know if I have them all (Suggestion for Rovio) in the forum General Discussions Forum 7 years, 3 months ago
@Gelfling
Thanks. The P4 (Rise of the Clones) levels are what I was referring to. I’ve studied each level several times & I think I have all the coins, but I’m not 100% sure though. I thought the new in-game achievements for coins collected was a good addition, but Rovio needs to add the coin icon that I mentioned in the original post & then a…[Read more]justpast40 commented on the post, Angry Birds Star Wars 2 Master Your Destiny Level PM-6 Walkthrough 7 years, 4 months ago

I would love to see a buy-back program incorporated for our arsenals of swap characters.
With the new “Master your Destiny” levels and the “Last Chance” strategy requiring us to use swap characters, it would be great to sell back some of our swap characters and use those credits to purchase characters we can use and have much more fun with.
