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.

  4. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Robert Duvall and a handful of others were a younger actors coach and always said no one worked as hard as those guys did. Robert Duvall and rest would read the full script 228 over and over, then after the last read they would go into how to perform their character. The young man had made it to meet Al who are greats and pull them to the side. And explain what his coach said. They all looked back and said out of every role you’ve seen me in. I have read it 228 by myself. 🫡 🫢 🫢 🫢
  5. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Sorry for comment below, but I couldn’t delete. Know I see the
  6. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: Yeah Robert Duvall passing is a hard one. RIP
  7. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Damn. Just heard Robert Duvall passed away Sunday. That’s a tough one. He’s one of my favorite actors. From Lonesome Dove to the Godfather and many others. We will miss you Mr Duvall. You entertained us for 7 decades. RIP

  9. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Just wondering if anyone well trusted has a supply of research thienos or benz in powders for good average prices? Or could give a shout out from me to him? Or the best lowest per each? I’ve seen some cool and some i just know are worth it. Good price rv presses too but it is much more bang for your buck. I have one good vendor. But am looking for variety’s well. Send me a message or reply if you think any. Thanks - CLINT E. Any Heavy stuff too which all seem about the ssmmmmmm
  10. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I always thought I should’ve been born in a much earlier time but I will say, i do enjoy my Xbox and occasional TV series tho 😂
  11. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I just wish the opioid epidemic never happened. Fk the turn of the century (which would be cool no doubt)! Many of my friends and family would’ve ended up in asylums like so many others. I just wish I could get back all those I’ve lost since the start
  12. L @ Layne_Cobain: 1914 I meant
  13. L @ Layne_Cobain: I often wish I lived during the turn of the century or at least before the Harrison narcotics act or whatever I think it was 1924 the fun ended but anyway yeh being able to get laudanum, ❄️ and amphetamine at the local friendly pharmacy
  14. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Chew on the leaves with a bit of slaked lime and enjoy the mild boost you get from the raw base.
  15. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I’m sure you know the folks in the mountainous regions along South Americas pacific side buy cócà leaves at the local farmers market just to help acclimate to the higher elevation when they have to head up into the hills.
  16. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I would certainly have bought it, swilled it, enjoyed it…. Why not? A little boost in your juice isn’t going to hurt anyone.
  17. R @ Royboy99: Exports were reported to have around 7.2mg per FL OZ, it’s success is what actually led to Coca Cola
  18. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Having cramps and husband thinks you’re acting hysterical (ie. PMS) the doc would either perform a certain massage to relieve the strains of motherhood and family life of that time or send you down to the local apothecary for a bottle of laudanum… A tincture of alcohol and 10% òpìųm. Fun days huh?
  19. R @ Royboy99: @malestrom: yeah thats it, my bad Mariani, yeah i considered that and also its ROA, which was oral so the bioavailability was lower than insufflation, higher degree of purity tho and longer duration … there was a significant marked increase of patents filed by Edison during the time it was released in the US. Presidents were known to use it as well, and the Queen. The pope awarded the wine the Vatican gold medal award
  20. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I think it was called vin Mariani. But yeah, it was all the rave back in the turn to the 20th century. Original formula Coca Cola did it for a while too. I think it was pretty weak though. Something like 200 mg per liter of wine. Enough to maybe give you a little push but unless you could pound some serious alcohol, it’d be hard to really feel the effects before the ethyl knocked you down on the ground. It was an interesting time period. Laudanum was a “hysterical” woman’s best friend.
