howartp Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Hi, Whenever I try and use the mention button, I always end up with just an @ symbol, but without the name/link to the person I mentioned. I have to go to the users profile and find their ID, then edit my post to say (mention=1234)username(/mention) to make it work. (Incorrect brackets intentionally used here) Surely this isn't right? What am I doing wrong? Peter
sparkeh Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Didn't know there was a mention button! I just type @ followed by the username. So @howartp

elsiegee40 Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 To get a mention just type @ followed by the user name. Don't bother with the mention button whatever that is... I have never used it.
Patrick Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Can we mention ourselves? @Patrick Yes we can..

Garacesh Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 For the record, users can turn off being able to be mentioned. Off the top of my head, I know that @miscbrah does

LeMarchand Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 She just can't bring Michael Dorn with her? No. And Dwarf Dax is definitely not acceptable, either.
