Becoming social
Posted by Jesse Andrews on May 12, 2009
I've added vanity urls. So instead of being http://userscripts.org/users/2 you can be http://userscripts.org/users/anotherjesse (well, you cannot be anotherjesse since I already am). The beginning of a private messaging system is in place. And more email notifications are enabled.

The rest of you need to head to http://userscripts.org/home/settings and setup yours.
Private Messaging
The first release of messaging is enabled. If you are logged in you can see a link to your messages in the header (in the drop-down with your name). There is a link to send a message on a user's profile page. Send me a message and let me know what you think.
Once rate limiting and blocking is added (along with other things you guys find), I'll make it more visible on the site.
Email Notifications
Private messages are more useful when you know about them. So along with the ability to get an email when one of your favorite scripts are updated or when someone reviews one of your scripts, you can enable getting an email when someone sends you a private message. To enable these emails visit http://userscripts.org/home/settings/notifications as the default is to not send email. And yes, getting emails when reviews are written was enabled this evening as well.

Actually, I kinda like URL with numbers. Mine is 12, 2-digit, that makes me a senior user :D
Oh, what if I change my vanity URL to http://userscripts.org/users/therealbritney? :D

(Thanks Kastro187420 for the idea, indirectly.)

Interesting fact (not!), the 'root' account is the all-powerful user on Linux/Unix and can bypass all restrictions.

Following the long-standing naming tradition, while I can't be 'anotherjesse', I could be 'yetanotherjesse'... if I were a 'jesse' in the first place... which I'm not (so, never mind).
And Kastro187420... sorry, I don't believe in you. (:D)
I am what I am. (which was said first either by God or Popeye... not sure which)
