understanding of Hackthis

oh and when you go to your own profile there it says “name”, what is the meaning of this

[list]
[] As long as you don’t know what name or moderator means, you should learn how to use a dictionary.
[] Alien is a gender in HackThis!!, I suppose. You can search the forum to know how to earn it.
[] Karma is similar to Like in Facebook or Thanks in some forums.
[] Take a look at GitHub to understand what pull request / repository is.
[/list]

And to add Karma also means reputation
repository is a place where you upload your codes
pull request when someone edit your code and sends it to you on github
moderator is similar to admin but with less permissions
name is your name
alien is a 3rd gender on HT you can earn it in a hacky way

oke thanks for explaining me
but i still dont get the name thing
i want to show you but dont get the way of inserting a picture
got allong way to wisdom …

For inserting a picture here , upload it on a image hosting site like www.imgur,com/ and then post the link here or post it within [ img ]…..[ /img ] tags(no spaces) !!

Hehe, at first I thought of a troll, but he is right. It seems to make no sense at first, but then I visited my own profile and found a 0 (zero) there… I managed to find out that it is your “real name”. There is a field for that, if you click on “edit profile”. If you leave that field empty and leave the checkbox “display name” in its default state (on) then it shows 0 as your name…
Maybe the name should only be displayed, if it is not empty?!

Hope that clarifies the situation… :-)

what is that name thing

oow finally thanks

Try [ img ]http://i.imgur.com/2pZeLVs.jpg[ /img ] instead. :) (No spaces and use the image URL instead of the whole page thing URL.) You can also press the little ‘eye’ to preview your message, btw.

The ‘name’ thing is where your name is mentioned if you have set it in your profile. However, when you haven’t set it but have ‘show name’ enabled anyway, it shows ‘0’. It’s a bug, I assume.

I don’t really think it’s a bug, Maybe @flabbyrabbit put 0 as default value in the database or if there was no name then it’s 0.

The 0 is actually the result of a generic printing function. Could be that it is intentional, but in my opinion it would be a bit of a weird choice. ;)

ah nice now i can preview my messages :)
is this name thing worth it to tell ht-community?

That’s something for each to decide on their own. Personally, I don’t see any reason to share such things.

oke then i leave it like this
in the mean time i changed my name so now it is not giving me the value 0 anymore
so everything solved
time to close this thread
