Tagging a Person in a Post

[𝘗rincess 𝘵uvstarr]

Please read on, even though it is by me.

Sometimes we want to reply to a specific person, or highlight something that someone specific might be interested in.
We often requote, so the person will receive a notification, or we private message, or we just hope she or he spots the name in a post. In otherwords we hope for the best.
Well there is a simple way to get that person to notice the post, and it will remove excess reposting and make the thread look fresher.
Also we may want to point out  a specific member who might be able to help with something. and he/she will be made aware of this.

We can TAG a person.

When a person is tagged she/he will get a notification, as normal, but it will say you have been tagged. So the person will know they have been mentioned specifically by name.

Also the tagged person will be highlighted and if you click on them then it takes you to their profile.

It's very simple:

All you have to do is add @ before the username.

Remember the username is not necessarily your current profile name. It's what you signed on as. So mine would be princesstuvstarr, even though I'm now Anna. It will be in lowercase.

When adding the @ You have to place a new line, or space or special character before it.

So for example:

(space)@(username)(message)

I believe this will be of help on this forum and is not a gimmick, as sometimes someone can be days offline and miss a request or message to them.

I think a basic guide on how to add photos to a posts, or on embedding videos, and how to use Profile settings would be useful too, but I won't be available to do it.
