So I've been trying for a while to mention people using the @ symbol on Forums, but people have been saying that it doesn't notify them and there is no horizontal line underneath their names. I wonder if someone knows how to fix this?
I don't have moderator either. It goes right from likes to events.
I'm on a computer.
I also don't have a Moderator Settings option in my settings. What is that?
But I am able to @ people @SmudgePlant @JustJoannaGoods
Are you a secret moderator @SmudgePlant?
Does this mean I'm special?
Yes, very special.
But I guess that doesn't help since other people don't have that either. That was the only thing I found different in my settings from what you listed.
Yep!
Please don't mute me.
That is really weird. You know I never had a nesting issue either.
Maybe I am a Moderator!
All kidding aside, this is what the choices in that section are:
Moderator Settings
Show Moderator Flag column
Clear moderation flag automatically when a message is read
Those sound like moderator settings to me.
I'm on a team and I was appointed, as kind of a back up, team leader. Maybe that's why I have that setting.
Please don't shun me. I swear I didn't know I was a Moderator.
I'm a leader on a couple of teams as well, so I don't think that's it.
This forum has many glitches that affect some and not others.
@SmudgePlant We won't shun you.
@SmudgePlant @JustJoannaGoods I don't have moderator settings either, but I'm able to "at" people. (Desktop computer, Chrome).
I wish it came with some special powers. I would then grant everyone their ability to @.
@ChillwolfArt It must be something else, then.
@SmudgePlant That would be nice!
^^ not sure how my message about languages ended up there, but I was trying to reply to @smudgeplant (who of course i can't tag!) - from an earlier message!
According to Etsy, "How to @mention someone" you simply type @ and the first few letters of the shop name and you should see suggested results However this has never worked for me despite trying all the recommended settings. What I did notice is that the @shopname is a hyperlink to the URL of the owner's forum profile. In the reply box you can create a link by clicking on the insert/edit link icon and pasting in the URL and the typing in the text to display e.g. @JustJoannaGoods . What I don't know is whether this notifies the owner. Maybe you could let me know.
Thank you for the input! No, it did not notify me.
Oh b......
