I've had a hugh brain lapse. When replying to a blog (but not using quote) what do I use to bring up the previous posters so that I can click on the one I want to reply to. I thought it was "ctrl" something. I searched in the help section to no avail. Thank you.

@pattypeep 

 

Do you mean replying in threads here in the forums?

 

If you mean notifying or mentioning someone, you use the @ symbol. That will bring up a drop down menu of the posters in that thread and you then click on which name you wish to mention.  They will then get a notification that you mentioned them in that thread. 

Which is what I did to you above.

@pattypeep Are you referring to these forums, which are

not blogs.

 

A blog is something entirely different.

@pattypeep.  Entries here are posts or threads, not blogs.

If you are talking about these forums:

Use "@" - the "at sign".  Type that, and a list of posters names will come up, and you can choose the one you want.  Like this: @pattypeep .

Thank you all. I guess at 76 years we are entitled to foopahs. Blogs, forums, it's all the same to me. Heart

No big deal--happens to me all the time.  I just wasn't quite sure what you needed to know.

 

Did we answer your question?

@geezerette Yes, you answered the question. Thank you for being so nice. I've been here for years, but don't write as often as I used to.
