Jock3r Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 (edited) Hello, I want to ask if it's possible to someone allow people to mention someone by simply using @ name rather than having to use the drop down menu as this would be an issue later on when there are many people using similar names.

Sheffielder Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Yeah you just do it as you would with Twitter - type @ and then wait for the names to appear or just type in their username e.g @Jock3r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to know if it can be done without the drop down menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheffielder Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Type in @ then their username - sorted You don't have to use the drop down menu just type their username in with the '@' symbol before it (no spaces) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheffielder Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Wonder if it's your browser? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jock3r Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 I just tried it on 2 browser and same thing, you still have to click the username on the menu tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morrigan Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 @Jock3r there currently isn't a way to do that however there are some plugins that add a "tag" link to the users post that you click and it auto-adds the tag into the post for you. I would recommend that. For the most part though, it sorts it alphabetically so you just have to get to where the name is mostly unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
