Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I remain freaked out by the creature crawling in the ear thing. (That is Wrath of Khan?).

Strangely, “swi” and “swu” (but there are no names with the latter).

I think I’ve cracked it. If a matching username contains non-standard* characters, such as in “Love Swimrun 🏊‍♂️ 🚴‍�” then none of matches come up.

So try tagging “love”, “wim”, “imr” and they fail too.

* must be the ? one, as “Bowman 🇸🇪” is taggable.

JCB I've come across this before when a username starts with an unusual character.

Pro Tip: You can just tag a random person and then change the number in "USER 00000" to the number of the person you're trying to tag, it'll be visible on their profile page in the URL and in the "fetcheveryone.com/users/00000/summary" bit.

I've fixed the issue with the tagging. It wasn't anything to do with swittle other than the fact that he shares three characters of his name with another Fetchie that has a bunch of emojis in their nickname. When you start typing the name of the user, the page speaks to the server to get the list of matches - but the emojis were breaking the format of the list that was returned - so it looked like there were no matches for 'swi', whereas in fact there are 41.

Fun fact: 'swi' is by no means the most popular string of three letters within nicknames. The most common is (as you might expect) 'run' with 1020 users including this. It's followed by 'ing' with 689 matches, and 'unn' with 679. Then there's a clue as to the most popular name on the site, with 'ste' coming next with 625 matching users. Overall there are 13907 three-letter combos in use :-)
