How can I search for users now?

You can just go to any profile page and substitute the name in place of whichever page you went to, it’s much easier to get to an account that way than by searching for it.

If you can read html (or ignore it) you can always search for accounts with the url:

<a href="http://www.kongregate.com/accounts/search?scope=has_username&amp;amp;amp;amp;search={part_of_username_here}" rel="nofollow">http://www.kongregate.com/accounts/search?scope=has_username&amp;amp;amp;amp;search={part_of_username_here}&lt;/a&gt;

Change any & to the ampersand symbol. (shift 7)

For example, putting Unknown at {part_of_username_here} returns:

how would one go about using this with wild cards?

Topic: Kongregate / Does your family know that you play on Kongregate?

my wife knows, she is on here too, and most of my family know im a mod here, just keep playing, after a while people loose all hope that you will go outside to socialise and just leave you to it.

sometimes if you’re lucky you can see the moment it happens as the thin veil of hope that you will enjoy sports or find a girl/boy is given up, the eyes grey over and they gain a slight slump, it means you are winning!

Topic: Kongregate / Tweak the ban mechanism

if your account is going to be permanently banned for something (which i do believe most offensive names are) then what does it mater what badge you get? that account is dead and gone,

and i second what dark said, don’t pick stupid usernames, remember that this site is 13+, would you want your 13 year old kids to be talking to some random stranger on the internet called PornAdvertiser?

Topic: Kongregate / [New] Split test on the game page

I R HAZ TEH NEW 1!

my feedback, on the instructions/description module set description to be default, so many games leave this blank or just say ‘in game’ it leaves a large amount of white space otherwise,

same for the ‘from this dev’ and ‘others like’ module, the default shown should be the devs games and it might just be personal preference for me, but i don’t much give a monkeys what other people like, id replace the badges module with the other games one and put the other games under the description/instructions/updates

having said that, any time i scroll down from the game window its to look at game instructions/description/updates, ratings then user comments. I’m looking for information about the game i am currently playing not looking for a new game, new games are up the page (game, achievement, kongregate home page) having a section to take me away from the game feels out of place and wrong

the red game ratings box and the blue one with the shield, any chance of a tool tip/explanation? being able to see the rating larger is good but what the hell is the blue shield?

i have 2 games open right now, the one with chat is wider than the stuff at the bottom and having it centered rather than under the game looks a bit weird to me, whereas the other game and chat window are thinner than the info at the bottom and it looks fine (this could well be fixed for those of you who see ads, but as i don’t its just odd)

overall i like it, its cleaner and still gives all the info it used to,

the issue though, as I see it, it is yet another game that over time will become impossible to get badges on as it requires real people to still be playing a year or so down the line, especially for a unity game i just cant see that happening

Yeah, I feel like this will become an issue in the future since it seems to require 10 active players.

minimum of 4, 2 per side, as without another player to assist you cant get the second part of the badge, but that requires you to have 4 people all of the same rank.

this will in future turn in to the same situation as dinowaurs where people load it up and rather than a full match play just to get badges (you attack and kill me then its my turn to kill and attack you)

Topic: Wartune / [Coming Soon] The Spirit Covenant

All MMOs like this have an element of greed about them, they all want to make cash from players and im fine with that you are a business after all, the trick is to put a good enough layer of fun over that greed so people will play without feeling like they have to pay, having everything that could be purchased be available to everyone with a bit of luck and hard work helped this as it never felt imbalanced

VIP at $7.99 a month was fine, but now this too, $13 for a month of bonuses?

as it stands i can hit all my daily limits in a day, with VIP removing the cool downs i think it would take me a lot less, then with this pack on top of that doing bounty quests for me and making blitzs free half an hours play, i may as well just spend that $20 and buy myself a trophy congratulating me on a game well played and be done with it,

your game is fun, i like playing your game please stop letting the greed ruin it,

Kongregate should start advocating for fitness
Sitting in front of a computer screen all day is unhealthy
Every 30 minutes, Kongregate should freeze for the user, and pop up a message
The message will be like “Do this, do this” with guided exercise pictures to keep the user’s muscles healthy

if this happens i will hunt you down for suggesting it and have at you,

should be enough exercise to exclude me for the rest of it,

Topic: Kongregate / Badge Suggestions!

the last dino

current rating 3.32

it tracks 2 stats, deaths and letters collected, sadly the letters collected stat looks to be broken but the deaths works just fine as long as you re-do the finally to submit them,

i have no idea on badge names and such likes, im always in awe of you lot who can do that, i just wanted to put this game p here and see what happens with it

Topic: Kongregate / Suggestions

i have a request, in the next chat update can something be done about the underline on users names in chat? a G looks like a Q and a lot of people are getting it wrong all over the place, not just with my name but quite a few others, its cropping up every few days,

just a little break in the line over the lower part of the letter would be nice

ever time i see tiqoda it breaks my heart a little

Topic: Skyshard Heroes / [Dev] Suggestions/Bug reports

as well as gaining zero resources from attacking others i got none of the rewards from the campaign missions, i haven’t has a single one since starting this game,

in addition, when i talk in the chat i have no name, the place for my name is just blank

where the hell is a teenager to translate when you need one?

Topic: Kongregate / Broken badges

thanks! all i see now is a single sad solitary solarola badge, this is much better in terms of the front page,

next question though will there be a second phase where something is done to get them removed from badgemaster or savagewolf? or are those always going to see them as they look at other back-end jiggery pokery?

But again, thank you so much for your continued efforts, i know there cant be more than a handful of us out of the thousands and thousands of uses who this really bothers, it nice to know you take an interest,

Topic: Kongregate / Kongregate, I don't want to see these "notifications" in chat that you apparently "think I will find an interest in"

Originally posted by IAmTheCandyman:

Sorry about that, guys! Those notifications were only supposed to be sent to people playing Dawn of the Dragons, but we’ve fixed that now. :)

i AM playing that game, i still do not want to be seeing newbie tutorial level help for these sorts of things, you have my full support to help out the new players, just don’t forget we didn’t all join yesterday from facebook, some of us know how things work

Topic: Kongregate / Kongregate, I don't want to see these "notifications" in chat that you apparently "think I will find an interest in"

id also like to point out, that I’m a level bloody 65, i have been here since 2008, i have played thousand and thousands of games on here, no I’m not bloody confused by links,

i know the Facebook push is to get new blood in, i know the change from friends to fans was to remove a little confusion from new players, and its things us oldies have to live with, its changing times, more users mean more money, but come on, really, these messages are treating me like its my first day here,

i know you are a business, i know its your job to make money and you do that though advertising, i don’t bitch at the TV or radio for doing exactly the same thing, but if my local radio station or TV channel changed everything about themselves to attract a new audience, at the expense of there old loyal listeners/viewers, there would be mobs outside the station the next morning demanding those in charge be turfed out,
