@mention - new forum feature
Hi everyone,
We have a new feature that I think you would all find helpful!
It's called the @mention feature.
What is it?
It's a way to notify a specific member. Let's say for example, you are reading a member's post and you think "Oh I think I remember NikNik had experienced a similar situation, maybe she will have some good advice for this person" OR you're writing a new post that you think would be particularly relevant to a specific member, you can get their attention (they will get an email notification).
How do I use it?
It's similar functionality to twitter and facebook when you mention/tag someone. All you need to do is type the "@" symbol, followed by the first 3 letters of the member's username & a bunch of suggested member's usernames will come up, with their profile pictures. You just click on the one you're looking for. Test it here if you would like to 🙂
So I'm going to get the attention of @Harry @Brodie @Used2Be @PeppiPatty @CherryBomb so they can test it out 🙂
Let me know how it goes!
Nik

Re: @mention - new forum feature

Re: @mention - new forum feature
Hi @Alessandra1992 I didnt get it.
I think because you didn't use my full username. Once you type the first 3 letters & you see the member's name drop down, you have to press it.... does that make sense?

Re: @mention - new forum feature
Hmm I haven't tried this on the phone or ipad. I have been using a laptop.
I will let tech support know it's not working on mobile or ipad.
Have you tried it on desk top/laptop - no worries if not, I was curious to know if you had issues using it elsewhere or just mobile & ipad.
Thanks for the heads up
