How do I

FredFlintstone

how do I refer to a user’s post so they get notified. I know it’s, for example, @fredflinstone, but I can never get it to work. Thanks.

you just put @ in front of the persons name.

FredFlintstone

@durhamjaide2001 thanks, but doesn’t work for me.

Hi @FredFlintstone another way is to press quote and it will show the post of the member you want to answer.

Take care.

You alert @FredFlintstone by putting an @ in front of his user name. It doesn't always work and there's no obvious pattern to explain why. It has nothing to do with operating system or browser.

@Zipz thank you

Usually, if you have predictive text turn on,it doesn't work.

Do be aware that members have the facility to turn off tagging notifications.

If someone tags me I don't get notifications.

Click the word "Quote" that is right under their comment and type what you want to say and they would get notified through the email they supplied. This is exactly what I'm doing right now for you to get notified of my comment.

Click the yellow circle on top of the page, which will display your username. It'll open a new page. On this page, on your right hand side, you'll see "Notification Preferences". Click it and this will open up a new page. On this page, under the "Notifications", you'll see "New comments on my activity feed posts" in the list. If you uncheck it, then you won't receive any notifications on your comments.

I think it's good to receive notifications on your comments for you to follow the input of other forum users.
