A joke on the "new phone who dis" meme, but seriously, Ookla season makes for a very confusing time on the Shard, not just during the season but for historical posts where quotations retain the name of the member at the time of the quotation. I've been here a bit and I still don't know everyone's pfp, and if you change your pfp at the same time as your name, I probably don't know who you are anymore. I mean, look at this: I count 10 distinct Ooklas in this screenshot alone. The Sibling, Robin Sedai, Aon Ene, is that you? I'm not even sure for the "By Ookla _____" marking for the thread creation. I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, but it would really help me out if you put your typical name in your signature or somewhere on your profile or something, though that won't help for mobile users. It's just really hard to know who I'm talking to, particularly if your "Ookla the ____" doesn't relate to your usual username. I have no idea how I would know who anyone is for the inside joke Ooklas if I were to join the Shard right now. I might tag you, but I don't not even sure who I'm tagging. Anyone else feel like this? halp

Is there a way to quote a WoB from Arcanum directly into a 17th Shard thread?

Hi, I signed up about 4 days ago and have been looking around trying to figure things out a bit. I joined the tor website about a month ago to start reading the Oathbringer chapters, because, well I have waiting a year to read it! A little about me. I have been an avid reader for around 55 years now. I started out reading Nancy Drew mysteries when I was around 10 or 11, then got interested in Sherlock Holmes mysteries. I started reading Science Fiction and Fantasy when I was around 15 and those two genre's continues to be my favorite, but I read many different types of books and styles of writing. I also read simply to learn and do a lot of researching of things that are of interest to me. I am never bored. I got interested in Brandon's work about a year ago; while I was at Audible, looking for audiobooks by one of my favorite voice actresses. She did the voice over for Warbreaker and once I had listened to it, I knew I had to hear more of Brandon 's work. So I got The Way of Kings, and Words of Radiance. Well I had to have something to listen to while I waited for Oathbringer, right? Then I got Elantris: Tenth Anniversary Special Edition, then Arcanum Unbounded: The Cosmere Collection. I have them all in audiobook format but have decided to get them in book format since it is really harder to pinpoint chapter and verse by using audiobooks. I was read to as a child so I really get into the narrating thing, and I also love to read aloud to others as well, so audiobooks are fun. I have listened to TWoK and WoR around 4 or 5 times now since last year and I figure I have just enough time to listen to them again before Oathbringer is out in November. These are such epic stories and I love them. Once I figure out the finer details you will see me posting here and there around the site. I have lots of questions and thoughts about the story line and little hints that are dropped in the books. I also am haunting the stormlight archive wikia because there is so much really good referenced information there as well. See you in the forums!

I recently joined the forums and do not wish to start a topic in theory or general discussion that has already been discussed--in such cases I would prefer reading the previous discussion and only resurrect it if I have something new to contribute. That being said I have been having difficulty with advanced Boolean search terms. Which Boolean search modifier work in the forum search? Are there non-Boolean modifiers that allow for things like wildcard, proximity, and term order searching? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

So, I was just wondering, does anyone know if/when the next Q&A with Brandon Sanderson on these 17th Shard forums will be? I know there was the one a while ago, but I have more questions and I'm not really in a place he comes to... I personally was hoping there'd be one during the WoR tour for us, but I guess not... So, has anyone heard anything?
