Hi,
I thought I would remind you that it still doesn't work. Will this be rectified soon? X

Hellooooo? GNHQ? x

Report your post to be sure GNHQ read it.

I reckon when it is up and working there will initially be a meltdown when some people are notified they have been mentioned in a post.
I use it on Mumsnet and love that it warns me that someone has referred to something I said otherwise I might miss something important.

Hello! No, it's not a feature that works on Gransnet yet although it is on our list. smile

Does it matter if someone has mentioned you in a post though? I'm not sure what the point of that is?

BlueBelle Sun 11-Oct-20 14:45:58

No idea what you’re on about ??? Have we even had an @ in use

Chewbacca Sun 11-Oct-20 14:54:11

BlueBelle it's one of the 4 little icons under the comments box; next to the paperclip icon. If/when it's in action, it will mean that you click on that and type the name if a poster and it will alert them to the fact that you've mentioned them. But it isn't working. And I can't see the point of it anyway but there you go.....

Chewbacca I had no idea ?

MerylStreep Sun 11-Oct-20 19:19:07

Cal me stupid but if you read the posts you would see that someone has mentioned you?

Chewbacca Sun 11-Oct-20 19:24:40

I would never call you stupid MerylStreep! if you read the posts you would see that someone has mentioned you? yes, you'd think so, wouldn't you?

Thank you ? So the request is meaningless. Unless your someone who needs/ wants recognition.

.? What icons ? Sorry I’m being thick.

Thank you for this thread. I’ve been trying to use the @ function to reply to individual comments. I thought it was my incompetence - I’m reassured I’m not as daft as I feared.

Marydoll Sun 11-Oct-20 22:16:20

I can't see any icons. Am I thick?

BlueBelle Sun 11-Oct-20 22:18:08

Lucca me too I don t have any icons under the comments box and certainly no paper clips ??‍♂️
What are they talking about ??

BlueBelle Sun 11-Oct-20 22:20:33

Screen shot of my comments box???

Nannylala Sun 11-Oct-20 22:21:22

If you click on add post the @ icon is there next to the 2 boxes that say preview and post x

Nannylala Sun 11-Oct-20 22:23:50

This is what it looks like on my phone

Marydoll Sun 11-Oct-20 22:24:43

Where does it say Add post?

Marydoll Sun 11-Oct-20 22:25:44

It's not on the desktop site. Problem solved!

Nannylala Sun 11-Oct-20 22:26:52

This is what I have if I scroll to the bottom of comments x

Nannylala Sun 11-Oct-20 22:31:09

Marydoll ?
