Abramelin Posted April 3, 2021 #1 Share Posted April 3, 2021 I read posts which have links to a person's profile by using the @. How do I do that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saru Posted April 3, 2021 #2 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Type @, then start typing the person's name (don't leave a space) - a list will appear and you select the name from the list. Note that if you do use it though, the member in question will receive a notification. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the reason I want to know how to do it. Edit: I never saw a list... Edited April 3, 2021 by Abramelin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, try typing the first couple of letters, then let the list load before continuing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abramelin Posted April 3, 2021 Author #5 Share Posted April 3, 2021 @Saru It worked, and I have not the faintest clue why it worked now, and not before when I did exactly the same. Sigh.. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It disappears sometimes, for no apparent reason, so just start again with the '@' 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abramelin Posted April 3, 2021 Author #7 Share Posted April 3, 2021 (edited) Well, thanks @acute. "It disappears sometimes, for no apparent reason." Did you read that, Saru? Edit: As you will have noticed it didn't work again. Edited April 3, 2021 by Abramelin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acute Posted April 3, 2021 #8 Share Posted April 3, 2021 @Abramelin If you make a spelling mistake, the username you want might disappear off the list, so take your time with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abramelin Posted April 3, 2021 Author #17 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Thanks for your help. And thanks, @acute And yes, when I was typing acute's name right after the monkey's tail, I got the list. I love it, this 'twilight zone'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just have to practice. I practice on @acute all the time because I like to make him, @acute look, especially when @acute is trying to do all the @acute things which @acute does. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
