A New Feature for Contact Info · 12:53am May 19th, 2020
So, have you ever wanted to contact someone on FIMFiction? Have you ever wished that there was somewhere to see all of their other accounts and even their email in one place? What if I told you that there was a feature for that all along?
🤯
I know what you're thinking: "Random, you said it was a new feature. You just said it was there all along!" Well, surprise! It's not new at all! It was there the whole time.
🤯
I know what you're thinking: "Random, this is fun and all, but where the heck is this feature?!" I'm glad you asked. To find someone's info, just go to their about page. It's right there. It's literally been staring at your face this whole time.
🤯
(Oh my God, I have 3,180 unread chapters.)
I know what you're thinking: "Random, how did you put you're contact info there in the first place?" I'm glad you asked. To add you're info, just go to your settings and click the Add New button in the Accounts and Links section. It's literally been staring at your face this whole time.

Now here are some interesting tidbits about this feature. All of the presets will ask for your username. Put it in and it will automatically make the URL for your contact info to use. The contact info is clickable, except for one: Discord. "Why?" you may ask. Here's why: Discord doesn't use a URL to talk to people; that's for servers. To chat with someone 101, you have to friend them first with the ID of the user, and then you can chat with someone in the web app, mobile app, desktop app, whatever app you use.
I don't know about anything about sites other than those I use, but maybe one of them is like that, too? I don't know what any of the other things are, so 🤷🏻♂️. Anyway, there is also a URL feature for sites that aren't preset, so you don't have to leave anything out. There is even an email feature, which is clickable and will tell your browser to go to Gmail (or whatever your preset is) and draft an email to send to that address. By the way, the presets you see in the screenshot aren't the only ones. I only partially got the list, and even seeing the whole thing forces you to scroll through the list.
🤯
By now you're head is probably pretty hurt by the explosions, so you will be glad to know that that's it. So go off with this new knowledge, spread it, have a speedy recovery, and see you in another life, bronies.

Nice. I didn't know one could do that.

Yeah, it's one of the more obscure features for sure.
The more you know 💫 still holding out for an accent add on/program
