Can I "mention" somebody in a post?

mvigod · 10-13-2014, 07:38 PM

Testing using at sign with my username. IF it doesn't work please tell me what BBcode or syntax to use to mention a username so it highlights and they get a notice they were mentioned.

Hello @mvigod testing Hello H

Ok it works. But may not work for usernames of just one character!

How come this didn't work? When I entered a "@" I saw different usernames come up but pressing "S" didn't bring up my username. I hard-coded it just like it looked in the editor for everyone else, but it still didn't work.

You need to be in "go advanced" mode when posting. Then use the "@" before the user's name. IF the user name has special characters - it might not work.

When done correctly say for Mik3ymomo... put a "@" before: Mik3ymomo - then the forum's sw will show a: (contact:216317) afer the user's name.

When you post, you will only see the user's name highlighted in blue. The user will then get an ALERT on their control tab - showing them someone has talked about them in a post.

That is because when a user name has special characters like: "///" the forum's sw will not recognize it. We're working on it... but so far no fix yet.

In order to notify these user's... I just quote their partial or entire post - so they get an "alert" on their control panel.
