"@newziesuzie i believe when you use it on the boards you will get a notification that someone responded directly to you. you should see it via your NOTIFICATIONS area next to your user name.....top right of the forums."

Thanks!

But I didn't get a notification.

Maybe it's not working or we have to set something?

Hmmmm...mahalo for trying to @me ladies, but no; it did not work for me.  No little Notification number thingy up there in the Notification box. Smiley Sad

Would someone please @ me to see if I get a Notification?  I saw the post where the Cust Serv rep @'d the poster and she got the notification.  I'm hoping it's working now, because I think that's a great feature.

I wonder if I @ myself if I will get a Notification so I can remember what thread I posted on and help me find it so I can come back and check replies?

I don't care for it.  If I wanted to be on Twitter I would, so I don't like having somebody add an '@' in front of my name to make it clickable. 

 

It just gives you a message that somebody said your name with an '@' in front of it.    I really don't need that.  

 

If they want to do some kind of messaging, then maybe they should try having a PM feature.  That would probably be welcomed by most of us and every board I've ever belonged to that had PMs also had the choice to turn it off for your account, so nobody HAS to use the feature.

Doing @ myself didn't do anything. Maybe it's not working because others are saying they didn't get notifications from other people either.
