Tagging @ People (Solved)

Hi

I’ve read through some discussions about tagging people (eg: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/78825) but it does not seem to work ?

I put in @ + user … but it never works for me.

Is it a “pebkac” or cause I’m using a mobile device (which makes it a “pebmac” :P) or something else?

Thoughts ?

    You need to go into beta mode - I think

    My account > settings > show beta features

    • kerfuffle on 30/07/2022 - 16:21

      Can confirm I am in beta mode

    • CY on 30/07/2022 - 16:24

      I don’t even have a “settings” option under “my account” ??

    Go to Subscriptions - Events and you can see

    Misc. Notification

    Notify me when:

    Another user tagged this account with @CrispyChrispy in comments

    Someone try tagging me (don't reply to this comment)

    • CY on 30/07/2022 - 16:25

      I can see when someone tags me … but I don’t think my tags are tagging people.

      Didn’t seem to work with @kerfuffle down below ?

      • CrispyChrispy on 30/07/2022 - 16:26

        Yeah, didn't get any notification that you tagged me in that comment below but I did get a notification when @MS Paint tagged me. Weird.

      Yep :)

      MS Paint tagged you in this comment "@CrispyChrispy"

    @kerfuffle @CrispyChrispy

    Did this work ??

    Like how come some people have the @name highlighted but others just have @name that looks like text ?

      No.

      Highlighted names are when you reply to a comment 5th levels or deeper in.

      Tags show up as normal text.

    Click this to go to settings

    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/user/350343/edit

    Ctrl+f beta

    Check the box

    Click Submit

    @CY

    You know it works when you get a dropdown when you start typing in a username.

    • CY on 30/07/2022 - 22:35

      I don't have that option (beta click box). I have gone through all the tabs but cannot see it. All I can see from your link is this https://imgur.com/a/4cbn9cv

      Neither on a PC or Mobile ??

      Thanks for clarifying
      1) highlighted names > 5th level or deeper
      2) Tags showing up as normal text

      However the main thing that trigged my concern was that I do no get a dropdown box / auto selection of users. I have to manually type it in .. which obviously is not going to work :P

        I don't have that option (beta click box)

        To gain access to beta features, you must have:

        • Have an account that has been created for at least 180 days.
        • Have at least 2 badges.

        I see you only have 1 badge.

        • CY on 31/07/2022 - 00:19

          Ah there you go … case solved :)

          Now I can sleep tonight …. After I go and try to collect another badge … haha

          But seriously … thanks for your help. I don’t often @ people …. But was more wondering why it didn’t work. #insertthumbsup

            @CY: No worries. GL with the badge.

            (5th level deep in comment)

            @CY: Easiest badges for you to get are: civil duty, reporter or revoker.

              @brisdaz: yep got the civil duty one .. thanks

              @CodeXD … yep got the drop down box now .. thanks

                @CY: Got the tag. Nice work :)

        • CandyMan on 31/07/2022 - 13:40

          @cy Try reporting 5 posts or negging 20 comments and you’ll bet a badge

    You ever stop to think that it does work, just that the person you are paging doesn’t give enough of a shit to reply to your page?

      Did you ever stop and think that judging a situation without knowing all the facts makes you look like an ass ?

        Awww… did I hurt your feelings?

        I didn’t “judge” anything. I merely offered an alternative proposition as to why your pages were not working.

        Here, waste another one of your 5 negs for the day if it makes you feel powerful, @CY :)

        • CY on 31/07/2022 - 10:45

          I went through the site looking for bargains for tissue + my local Woolies is out … so yeh I’m in a predicament now. Are you offering your shoulder for me to lean on ?

          “You ever stop to think” this is the passing judgment comment …. But please feel free to continue to degrade people whilst I waste my 5 negs per day

          • pegaxs on 31/07/2022 - 15:47

            @CY: I am always a shoulder to cry on if you need one. Just send me an @ and you can always PM me if you need to cry to someone. I'm a great listener.

            just that the person you are paging doesn’t give enough of a shit to reply

            And my comment was directed at the other person's inability to give enough of a shit about replying to pages, nothing to do with you sending them… this was more an indictment of their laziness/ambivalence, but you know, don't read the actual words, just read into it whatever makes you outraged the most, ok champ :)

    @CY

    Hello.

    • CY on 31/07/2022 - 12:51

      Thanks … I got it working. Didn’t have enough badges, to turn on beta, for the drop down menu to @ people

        I saw that in posts further up.

        I just wanted to make you feel included and happy.
