Using the @ to alert a specific member

#1

Post by Inca »

I tried using the @ with the user "M and M" however I could not do it. I assume it's because of the space which presumably is allowed in the username but not when searching for the username with the @ symbol. Just thought I'd let you know

Testing... paging @M and M

I got it by entering @M and looking through the list of all the M muggles. (M and M was just below the halfway point.) Couldn't narrow it down further because entering that first space made the list go away.

I think you can also just forgo the @ shortcut and enter the code

Code: Select all

[mention]M and M[/mention] 
I'll try that with your name @Inca

Well, that worked! Not sure I know what I'm doing but I'm going to try the code-route too:

Attempting to type in all coding without using the drop-down menu. Brian mentioned in a recent Tuesday zoom mtg that the drop-down needed to be used.
