TAGGING members in a post --- at...at...@...@ :-)

[Mmathis]

A few weeks ago I wanted to direct a question to a specific member on GPF, but I wanted it to be an OPEN post so that all of the members could benefit -- so sending a PM was not the best option.

And if most of you are like me, you don't read.....every.....single.....thread.....or.....post, sooo.......

@Becky to the rescue! Thanks, Becky! So far, this has been quite successful for me, as I've been able to link with members as well as share with the forum

Thought I would post this, as numerous members, who I have tagged, have commented that they didn't know we could do that in GPF. YES YOU CAN!

Oh, and as I just noticed on another post, if there is a space in the username, be sure to put a space there..... Fortunately, when you start to type in the name [if you don't have happy fingers like me, grrrrrr!], a list of available GPF members will pop up for you.

@j.w Just wanted to see what happens if you use it w/ your own name

 

[j.w]

So it doesn't send you a message or anything. It just sits there looking at you?

 

[dieselplower]

I got a notification in my alerts when someone tagged me. I didnt get one when I tagged myself.

 

[j.w]

Aha ok thanks

 

[dieselplower]

@j.w

@JohnHuff yep, but didn't get my own -- wonder why not?

Hey, this is like a memory name game -- now we can LEARN everyone else's usernames, LOL!
