[FN-GM]

Hi,

Sorry for the life of me i cant remember what the feature is called when you talk to a user by doing @username

Anyway for some reason it doesnt seem to work on this post.

Thanks

All you have to do now is use @ and then the username joined together.

I have had this too, it works on some posts but not on others.

It's in BTRD, maybe that is something to do with it?

as mentions appear on your profile it might be an idea to have it disabled in there.

My bad mate, half asleep I get what you mean know. I do imagine it is because it is "Behind the Red Door" as it is also not indexed by google the same applies where you can't tag specific members.

*Sorry, what domino said.

How about this post BBC Click - Can a £15 computer solve the programming gap?

can anyone point out where I got it wrong or is it a fault?

It seems to work as long as a space follows the username. If there is any other character following the username, such as a full stop or bracket it doesn't work (@SYNACK)

Here is another example where it doesnt work

Yes, @FN-GM (just to test it) I noticed that and was just about to add it. In my origenal post it worked for all 3 mentions, yet elsiegee's mention of geoff later in the thread didn't seem to work.

EDIT: (And my mention of you there worked.)

I'm just testing a theory! @FN-GM is a sentence not at the start of a post and @FN-GM, followed by punctuation.

EDIT
B*gger... they all worked this time(@FN-GM)

For some reason that seems random the correct mention tags are not always being added
