Doesn't work on my Android phone, either.

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.

Quote from: ultralinear on December 02, 2022, 04:29:53 AMSave Draft didn't work for me the first time I tried it - instead it took me straight to a login screen - and then into Start New Topic, of all things (losing my draft message along the way. ) But after that it's been working fine. (I just saved and recalled this message, as a check. )

Just testing draft mode.

@Dungeon Master

It's working for me (and on an old iMac using Safari).

PD

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

@Dungeon Master

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!

You must have done something when you weren't looking, because it's all working now just fine:

@Dungeon Master

@Pohjolas Daughter

...and so on. Thank you for fixing it (even if you didn't mean to!)

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.

Seems to be working on my Android Chrome as well.

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.
