If you want to catch the attention of another member in a post or mention them in a post that will send them a notification that is the reason for the @ 2
ckreef Posted June 3, 2017 Report Posted June 3, 2017 @mguerra For when you don't directly quote them but want them to get a notification so they go read what you wrote (hopefully). 3
mguerra Posted June 6, 2017 Author Report Posted June 6, 2017 Eh, whatever. I don't like it. But carry on...

mguerra Posted June 7, 2017 Author Report Posted June 7, 2017 @ least it's there for people who think it's really where it's @ 4
Syzygies Posted June 10, 2017 Report Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) It's like pushing all the buttons in an elevator, only this elevator is like that scene in Being John Malkovich, all the buttons say "at". @mguerra One needs to type "at" then start typing a user, and wait for the pull-down menu to select said user. Otherwise one gets text, no highlighting, no notification. In my experience (Chrome on Mac) very buggy, editing can hang, harder to enter return for a new line, necessary to save and edit some more. There is probably (what I observe, not what I've read) a limit of one user per post that one can tag in this way. @tony b I can get around this by editing again. Perhaps it's one tag per edit? @Stile88 not for everyone. For you? @ckreef my second tag in same editing session. Sometimes one can? Buggy. @Syzygies and of course one can tag oneself. When I first learned the programming language APL, there was an operator that deleted other functions. Of course it wouldn't work on itself. Edited June 10, 2017 by Syzygies Experimenting, no idea how this works. 2

ckreef Posted June 10, 2017 Report Posted June 10, 2017 Definitely for me, I use it regularly - it's sort of like knocking on someone's forehead "Hey wake up, I'm talking to you." Not so useful in a small forum like this one since mostly everyone is reading all posts. In a larger forum it's very useful. 1
mguerra Posted June 11, 2017 Author Report Posted June 11, 2017 I'm @ my wits end... Sometimes, late @ night, thinking about life, I'm @ peace with where I'm @ in life. @ other times, I'm @ my limit of endurance. But I always know, @ any time, if I need a dose of friendship and camaraderie, I am welcome @ the KK forum! 5
