If I didn't haz the dumb questions, I'd haz no questions at all!

What's the correct way to ping/tag a fellow member in a post?  When others do it, I see the @ immediately followed by the member's username with no space in between (@name), and the @name is auto-highlighted in orange.  Am assuming this sends the user a notification that they've been mentioned in a post?

When I use the @name, there's no orange highlight or any highlight at all, and thus does not appear to work. 

Or maybe I don't have enough posts yet for this feature?

Thanks as always for the kind assist, y'all.

 
That's a good question. I've wondered that before, maybe its the recipient that gets to seee the orange highlight.  I've never seen it my end when sending. ONly when   I received it.  

I don't think post count has anything to do with it. Although my knowledge is limited. 

 
@DippityDoo When you type the @ symbol a menu box should appear below the cursor and you click on the username you want to highlight.  It works most of the time and it notifies the highlighted individual they have been mentioned in a post.  Whenever I see it I always think I am in trouble or I said something wrong!!! :)   

p.s. don't put a space between the @ symbol and the name you wish to mention and the menu box magically appears below!!!

@aintnouse Ta-da!!

Type ampersand then DO press the spacebar; that seems to be the trigger to pop-up a username list.  After selecting a member's name, the space is automatically removed and entire thing is auto-highlighted in orange.

I wasn't pressing the spacebar after the ampersand, so it just sat there with no member names list, MOCKING ME!  With neener-neeners and raspberries and everything!! 

You rock, aintnouse!!

@DippityDoo I never type the space bar and it works for me!  I forgot that the @ thingy was called an ampersand......

Have a great morning!

I'm using Internet Explorer 11 on a Windows laptop.  Tried it again by pressing the ampersand and nothing else, but after waiting 30 seconds nothing happens and no member list pop-ups.  Soon as I press the spacebar, then the list pops up.

Tried it again on same Windows laptop but with Firefox this time and with same result; no member list with just pressing the ampersand and no space following.  Soon as I press spacebar, the list pops up.

Tried it again on an iPad 2.0 but with same result; no member list if I don't press the space key.

What device/browser might you be using, @aintnouse?

@DippityDoo I am using a dell crap top with the chrome browser in incognito mode...ssssssshhhh don't tell anyone I am here!  Actually the incognito mode does't provide any protection it just keeps things from my browser history so I don't have to manually clean my computer.

  1. st1ckyf1ng4z @ st1ckyf1ng4z: @MorfineOrfan @nameofuser11 @RiftChems @moai Just because they’re “banning/scheduling” something, doesn’t mean it’s not gonna be available. If you know where to look, it won’t be a problem.
  2. T @ theweedman: hellooo everyone! hola! salut!

  8. nameofuser11 @ nameofuser11: Set a reasonable limit. Hell fucking make it like buying cold medicine where they swipe your id and you can't get a bunch. But we know this isn't about logic or public safety. It's about money and control.
  9. nameofuser11 @ nameofuser11: AKA are such a bunch of fucking capitalist traitors. The liquor lobby has a lot of money in this as well.
  10. MorfineOrfan @ MorfineOrfan: The major plain leaf companies and the AKA are the ones lobbying against 7 and the other semi-sythetic derivatives, mgm this that and the other. We all know the chemist are just gonna mess with the scaffolding of the compounds and come out with new and even better semi-sythetic alkoloids of kratom. They are already playing with cats-claw
  11. MorfineOrfan @ MorfineOrfan: @moai just asked chatgpeetea and it looks like plain leaf kratom is safe, they arent banning it. Just 7-Hydroxymitragynine, MGM15 ,16 , and pseudoindoxyl
  12. MorfineOrfan @ MorfineOrfan: Wait... @moai they are federally banning plain leaf kratom too???
  13. moai @ moai: @MorphineOrfan how fucking stupid is this shit. We better see some new shit come out, I’m most upset about banning regular kratom because really? Millions of people have got off hard opioids with it. They must want everyone on methadone instead.

  16. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: If bans were done to logic so much of what is illegal now would end up prescription only and I think the powers that be react faster than they think... if they think at all
  17. MorfineOrfan @ MorfineOrfan: They aren't specifically targeting SR and 7oh
  18. MorfineOrfan @ MorfineOrfan: @RiftChems well sr-17018 is an orphine analogue after all, and they are banning all orphines so that makes sense. Orphines are spiking the OD death rates majorly these past few months.
  19. AlHoffman69 @ AlHoffman69: CANDYMAN ramnemnber thta is will be conme relevenaent soon :alien: :cool: :cool: :cool: 🤑
  20. RiftChems @ RiftChems: crazy they are banning SR17018 at the same time. they know what theyre doing.
