Q Talk

Does anyone know what you do to use the @ to mention someone on another page of the same post ? I don't know if I am being clear.... say there are 3 pages ,you are on #3 of the post and you want to reply to susieQ and catlover from pages 1 &2 ? Is there a way?

Just hit the @ symbal, and a box should open up with choices.  Pick the name you want and it should fill it in for you.

@okaywitheasypay

Otherwise, if the box doesn' topen or the name you're looking for isn't listed, hit the @ key and type their name exactly. 

It's easier when the box opens and you just select their name.

Since you started the post your name will be my first choice when I first hit the @okaywitheasypay symbol then press enter on my keyboard to accept.  When there are a few responses there will be about three or four choices of posters who are posting. 

If you it reply and quote to someone's specific post then they will be the lead name that will come up in the box after you hit the "at" symbol.  Confusing but you will get the hang of it just practice when you can.

@okaywitheasypay  sometimes it's tricky if many people post on the thread.  When you key in the @, it will only bring up so many names. 

If you want to respond to a poster on page one for example, just go back to that post, hit reply and the poster's name will automatically appear when you key in the @.

Does this make sense?

since this is a short thread so far, all of the names come up on the dropdown list when i put the @ symbol in the response box.

if the name doesnt pop up you can usually type it in directly, just make sure it is spelled correctly.

When I use that symbol, I have to hit the shift button then the @ button, which is on top of the number 2---then the box opens up to pick the names

@sunshine45 I'm experimenting by typing in your nn

as opposed to shift key then the name that pops up automatically on the page. I am curious when done this way does it show in your notifications?

Thanks to all for replies. I guess to respond with the@ key one has to go to each page and repond no matter how many pages are contained .

I don't go to each page to respond. You can just hit the shift key plus the @ key to click on the poster from the drop down menu. If the posters name does not show in the drop down box you have to type their username exactly as the poster has it set up so you can reply to multiple posters at the same time. Hope this makes sense.
