I've only ever posted twice in a few years (three times with this post!) and I don't get any notifications telling me that I've had any replies; I've had to periodically search for my original thread to do this. Do you get notifications? And if so, how do you get them please?

FarNorth Fri 26-Jun-20 13:13:29

No, but you should see a tab for 'I'm On' at the bottom or top of your screen.
It will take you to all threads you are on.

If you post on a thread like you've done here, you wont be told if anyone's responded Jack. Post again here if/when you see that I've replied.

JackK Fri 26-Jun-20 13:17:59

Thank you both! I've found the 'I'm on' button ... which is really useful!

When replying to a specific post if you write the User name with an ampersand in front they then receive a message.
Example. @JackK

FarNorth Fri 26-Jun-20 17:18:59

Someone told me that happens and did it to demonstrate but I didn't get a message. sad

Esspee Fri 26-Jun-20 17:21:01

@FarNorth. It certainly works on Mumsnet. Please let me know if you get this. ?

JackK Fri 26-Jun-20 18:53:17

@Esspee ...just testing!

Smileless2012 Fri 26-Jun-20 20:41:50

Hope you've got it sorted Jack; I can't believe I had something useful to contribute to a thread on the Technology forum. I'm the worse technophobe I knowblushshock

FarNorth Fri 26-Jun-20 21:29:57

@Esspee
Nope, no notification for me.

Esspee Fri 26-Jun-20 22:42:50

Definitely not working.
Curious, as it is mentioned just below the message box I’m writing on just now.
Tablets don’t have a control-enter facility.
Perhaps someone from headquarters could enlighten us.

Esspee Fri 26-Jun-20 22:47:07

I’ve requested clarification. It definitely works on Mumsnet.

A year or so back I never had this problem but now I never get a notification.

Hello there @JackK - we've just moved your thread over to Site Stuff and are looking into this now.

ninathenana Sat 27-Jun-20 14:29:24

I had no idea about the @XYZ and I've been here since the year dot !

If I want to be sure someone's seen my reply to a comment I PM them

Hi all,

It seems the @ function isn't working - we'll pass this onto our tech team for you.

You can also click 'Watch this thread' on a thread and then it'll be under the 'Watching' tab, where there is an option to receive email notifications for these discussions.

We hope this helps! smile

Hi,
I need to change my email address, how do I do this please.
Thank you

Greenfinch Thu 30-Jul-20 12:17:33

Doesn't I'm On disappear after a while ? If Jack only posted twice a year wouldn't it have disappeared anyway?

trisher Thu 30-Jul-20 12:21:17

Well I never knew about @. But as I still don't get notified when someone sends me a pm (and yes the box is ticked) I'm not sure I am that bothered. I do have a picture of the "tech team" in my head. Couple of long haired teenagers playing some on-line game, occasionally reading messages from HQ and then spending a few minutes messing with stuff before telling HQ they have fixed it! grin
