Spelling needs to be exact, including spaces if there are any in the username. The dropdown that Attjack shows will not work in comments.Comment

Just noticed that Jerod….P Broussard is a former member. So Jerod Broussard you’re picking on people who can’t respond eh? 😂Last edited by Panhead John; June 6, 2022, 04:29 PM.

Often I noticed it doesn't work when you do a 'comment' but in a 'reply' it does. Not sure if this is part of your issue.Comment

Actually realdocBBQ it does work if you type it out perfectly in a "Comment" but doesn't do the drop-down.

I got it here where I'm just posting a reply. First time seeing it.
As rickgregory mentioned, if i comment on a previous post, I don't see it...Comment

Note, though, that you CAN get the @ in comments to work, you just need to type the username exactly. It doesn't change until you save the comment, so you can't tell if it worked until that point. Also, you cannot have a space between the @ and the name. So Finster works but @ finster will notComment

raywjohnson I was able to tag Panhead John in a comment without any fancy tricks and his name has a space. Why can’t I tag @Elton’s BBQ ? -
I suspect that it is due to the apostrophe.
Testing...
@Elton's BBQ
Panhead John
Yep. That seems to be the problem.

In the comments, the @ (auto user link) will not work for names that contain spaces. They system only sees the first part: "Elton's" and not "Elton's BBQ". So if fails to auto-link.
And when you are posting normally (not a comment), sometimes the system is just slow. If you type the @ and then enter the first letter or letters, @rayw... then just wait for the list to popup and select the one you want.
As for comments, here is a trick. Use the new post editor to enter the @ + name, once select, just click the source icon, then copy the BBCode to the comment.
Be sure to click the source icon again to return to the GUI/WYSIWYG editor.

I've found that if you have a character right after a user name, sometimes it doesn't work - like an apostrophe or parenthesis), but if I keep a space after the username, it does.Last edited by jfmorris; June 7, 2022, 09:03 AM.Comment

Let's give it another shot ( Elton's BBQ ) ...
Which works just fine if you first type out the entire comment (including "( Elton's BBQ )" without the "@" and with no characters "touching" the "E" or the "Q") ... then go back and add the "@" just before posting the comment.Last edited by MBMorgan; June 7, 2022, 09:37 AM.

Hey RayJ ( raywjohnson ) ... knowing you, you've already done this ... but if not, could you set up a few test user accounts and let folks know "who" they are so poor Elton ( Elton's BBQ ) won't be kept up at night by his phone buzzing every time someone wants to practice tagging users in messages and/or comments?
Something along the lines of testUser , Test User , test's User , test User's , etc.?
Edit: and I see you've already done so for test and Test User .
Edit 2: and a whole bunch of other test "users" ... all beginning with the word "test". Well done, sir!Last edited by MBMorgan; June 7, 2022, 10:47 AM.Comment
