When I try to tag a certain user to get their attention, putting a @ before their name, it doesn't work. I have no problem with others I have tried.
Is that because this user is blocking me? I didn't think we were on bad terms and she responds to me when I reply to her posts.

I didn't think we were on bad terms and she responds to me when I reply to her posts. A user has two names, technically: - A display name: What is shown at the top in your avatar, when you are the last response to a thread, or when you are the creator of a thread, etc. This can be changed by the user. - A user name: A unique name prefixed by an ampersand that cannot be changed by the user which is displayed on an avatar above "Posts:". To tag somebody, be sure you are using the second name-- the user name. I've changed my name to demonstrate. My "display name" is "bartlesby the great" but my user name, what you would need to tag me, is " bartlesby ". Or: @bartlesbySee if that's not the problem. |

So you might have to look up the user name if it's different since it isn't displayed. It's probably too late for me to try that person again. That conversation has all but died. Next time. Thanks for the help. |
