Software update

Could people try to tag me @Dungeon Master and report if the feature is or is not working for them?

That's what I thought. On my Windows 10 laptop in Chrome, there's no popup. Haven't tried either handheld device yet. However. I do see a Save Draft button. Thanks, Rob. Will report further.

Weird. It works on my Windows 10 laptop in Chrome.

It works (Firefox / Linux)

Nope. Not working for me in Firefox on Android, either. (Where I'm now typing this reply)

I am assuming that if I type @ followed by "spot", something's supposed to happen by way of a pop-up selector? And that I don't have to be case-sensitive about it?

Correct!

Could people try to tag me @Dungeon Master and report if the feature is or is not working for them? I have looked through all settings and permissions, and can see no reason why it should not be working for all.

I think this is an important feature, as you can specify who you are replying to in a lengthy thread.

For me it is working on desktop and mobile.

Type the @ character, followed by just the first letter or two of the member you wish to mention, wait a half second for the pop up to give you a choice of usernames and then click the user you want.

I need to give it a try,  if only to answer questions down the road.  @Dungeon Master and @Brewski , this tags you OK?  This is a Samsung tablet running the version of Android that was released 2 days ago.

It amuses me that whenever I want to edit one of my posts a little box asks me to provide an explanation!
Very funny!

I don't get any such box.

That's only if you want to; you don't have to.

After you click on Quick Edit, it's up towards the top--just above your posting area.  It says "Reason for editing:" and has a narrow box after the colon for you to type in your reason--should you so wish. @Florestan.

Yep, just confirming that tagging me produced an alert. (PS, on laptop, using Chrome.)

I like to imagine the GMG Moderators assembled in a smoke-filled room taking a vote on whether an edit is acceptable or not

Blimey, I didn't notice it. 

But now I have another problem: you tagged me but I received no alert. 

[Pohjolas Daughter]

Huh!  I received one from you fine.  Did you scroll all the way up to the top of your screen?  And are you on a phone, computer, iPad, etc.?

By the way (to all here, I did notice that alerts (even after you have read them) stay in your personal message history--like emails.  They stay there until you delete them.  When I clicked on All Alerts, I realized that I had already amassed three pages of them!  There is a way there though to delete them all or to do it individually.  Just a heads up.

I just checked my alert history and actually I did receive an alert for your tagging me but it was one of several alerts and it was easy for me to overlook it.

[Pohjolas Daughter]

Oh, good.  Glad that all is working well for you. @Florestan

@Florestan how 'bout this?

Scroll to the bottom and there's a "delete all read alerts" button, @Pohjolas Daughter
