Need a little schooling here please - Am I doing this right ?

[Eck]

When you want to include someone in your post, like I will say I want to include Puc in one of my posts, do I just click on the @ symbol and then type PUC (@PUC) then underline it? @PUC

Do I also underline the @ symbol too or just underline the name?

 

Heck, I'm not certain I am doing this correctly. I don't think I am.

 

So...how about it @Puc, am I doing this right where it notifies you ?

 

 

Ah, never mind, I think I am doing it right, I guess, according to the instructions in this link.

It says to just put the @ before the username... however, it does not mention anything about underlining it though. ?

Yep, ya dont have to do any underlining but you do have to spell the person's name exactly like it shows in the members list.. The @Puc didn't work,, it would have had you have put @cowpuc I think.. If its done properly the name that you Atted with appear with a line under it and will be "clickable" in the post when you add it... '

That all make sense

Yup what Puc said.

You do not add the underline, the viewers computer does that if it is set to underline links.

 

Putting the @ in front of Puc does nothing because this sire does not have a person named Puc. Capitalization is not important and it will change what you have typed to match the capitalization that the user entered.

OPs, I knew you user name was @cowpuc, but, dummy me, only typed puc..(DUH...)..

 

Thanks @cowpuck and @Flyinfool for the info.
