What does that ww stand for? And that ff? And that person crossed out? And that nothing crossed out?

Wit and Wisdom.

On the notification page it says “ We are testing notifications for mentions and likes. This is a testbench page. Work in progress. Nothing to see here - yet.”

The W&W is probably being used more like a LIKE button. Maybe in addition to W&W, a LIKE button should be added, to distinguish between the two.

We don’t need no stinking “like” button.

WW is "like" now because there wasn't any way to stop the trolls from gaming the system and putting their own posts into the WW column. They did the same with the zeitgeist thing we had briefly.

FF used to mean Flames & Freaks and it's basically a downvote, but you only get 3 per 24-hour period.

Someone crossed out got FFed a lot. Probably a troll. You can control whether someone gets crossed out (to an extent) by changing your settings to Asbestos Eyeballs if you want to see everything, even things that have been FFed a whole bunch. Move the selector further to the left if you want to see more replies crossed out.

Click the eyeball if you want to have the thread on your watchlist. It's wonky, you may have to scroll back up to the OP to get the eyeball to click.

The upper right thing is probably the bell, which is the indicator of how many WWs you've received. You can't see the specific replies you got a WW on unless you're a paid member.

All threads about how Datalounge works get deleted quickly so jot this down or memorize it or turn it into a song or something.

Omg am I crossed out?

Fuck this shit.

Bumping for the twat who just started a similar thread.

How do you quote a post? I see lots that have the number but am not sure how to do that?
