Hailing posters not working.

When I want to call the attention of a certain poster then I just type the @ + their name. But that doesn't work for all posters names. For some of the posters I can't get their attention because their name won't appear as a link as does the others. Hope that made sense. Anyone know what I'm saying here?

I know what you mean.  ECBG has had problems too.  She has mentioned it on our WW thread in Among Friends.  At least I think that is where she mentioned it.😊😊

@SilleeMee.  I know what you're saying but I haven't had any trouble with it.  You do have to have the name exactly correct and it won't page anyone if used in the title.  Must be in body of  the msg.  I'm  guessing you know that.

Whenever I do this the names I am @ dont come out in blue. I don't know if that matters.

It only happens with a few posters, not all. For example, one of the posters is @San Antonio Gal. Notice how that poster's name does not appear as a link but just as a regular word.

@SilleeMee  Someone said the user name can't have any spaces in it. If it does it won't link.
