@mention

How do you guys make your username to @mention yourself from other members? Can someone try @thyname and see if it gets blue and able to mention me here? the admin was able to do it, but don't think anyone else can mention me with @ here

I see I can mention some people in the Forums by @ followed by user name (start typing until the blue username shows up, then select it), but not all. And nobody seems to be able to @mention my username.

It's very useful because it notifies you via email when someone mentions a username using @

Nope. Not working for me @fuzztone (does not work for you either) and @yogiboy  (works for you). I did not get any notifications of mentions

@thyname

I use an iPad and (in this case) @thyname comes up as bold in my reply message but then (usually) it changes blue after I post. @ <insert any name> seems to work whenever I use it, It must be something to do with your account set up. But, after all that: Did it work this time?

I always wondered how that worked, and how members did that. The thing is thyname, you will still get an email when someone mentions you whether they use that or not. I always do.

@thyname, did you get notified via email?  Also check your junk folder, sometimes emails from Audiogon ends up in junk folder.
