Well, that is weird. I definitely received a notification from Eva-QVC today to let me know she'd seen and responded to me:/

Was the notification from Eva the result of her using the "@" in a post?

@Adelina  Please let me know if you receive this.  I'm reading your post and trying to see if this works.

My notification said Eva had mentioned me and directed me to her post answering my question.

@Melvin-QVC, I sure did. So why is it when posters try this on each other, it doesn't notify them?

 

Oops, forgot to quote your post. I hope you see this.

Hi @newziesuzie ,

 

when someone wishes to respond directly to someone (or you in this example) the @sign will tag that individual!

If the post is busy and you don't want to quote the person you are responding to, the @  followed by a name lets posters know who you are talking to.

@Beth-QVC, I asked Melvin-QVC why when posters try this on each other, they do not get the notification. I received Melvin's to me (see below/above - depending on your settings) but can't get it to work for myself. Is there something in our Settings/Preferences that we need to adjust

Beth I received your notification but nobody else's.

It seems like it only works for the Q Team but not for everybody else.
