mordorbund 4330 Report post Posted February 24, 2017 When you type @mordorbund, a dropdown will start to form. You have to select from the dropdown the name you want (you can click on it, or use the arrow keys and hit tab when you find it (you also don't have to type the full name, it will provide a list of users based on what you've typed so far (which should be useful given your history of typos (inception-level parenthesis)))). If you just type @mordorbund it gets treated as text and you haven't actually tagged anyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Traveler 3653 Report post Posted February 24, 2017 @mordorbund Thanks for your input - Because I have no chance to spell correctly - I type my posts in "Word" and then copy it into the forum window. Thansk for clearing that up for me. The Traveler 1 Sunday21 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thansk for clearing that up for me. The Traveler It worked! I got a notification that I was tagged. Since you write in a different editor, I'll tell you something else I noticed. If you start with paste @mordorbund into the site, you don't get the dropdown. You'll have to delete that word and manually type it in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted February 24, 2017 Also remember that sometimes there is a glitch in the website software that does not register it as a handle. It believes it to be simple text. The only way around that is to complete the post, edit the post, place the handle at the bottom of the posting window, and list will start to appear. Pick it. Then cut/paste into the desired location. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
