The @ function still doesn't work!

3nanny6, if you go into your email settings, you should be able sort this.

Hi all,

This isn't a function we currently have on the site, so it shouldn't be showing the '@' option on the mobile site, as it doesn't work. We've let our tech team know and they will remove the button.

No thought of getting it to work then?

Clearly it worked at some point in the past as I've had people tell me how to use it, expecting it to work.

It's great to realise how GN is the poor relation of MN.

I do not know about the @ sign but all my gransnet emails that came each day are now taking themselves to the spam folder why would they be doing that also another email I get from the bible group also takes itself to the spam folder it's most annoying.

On MN if you @ someone they get an email telling them that they have been mentioned.
It's very useful - I've wondered for a while why it isn't in use here.

Netty13, just put an asterisk before and after the poster's name, no spaces and it will be in bold.
Like this * Netty * , but no spaces.

Why don't you just highlight the persons name as I have done yours. Posters will see that.

I am new to Gransnet and have tried using the @ as I thought I was being rude by not responding to people who have kindly taken time to give me their opinions!

BlueBelle I'm a mupppet! I'm actually on the desktop site, not mobile. No wonder you couldn't find it!

I wonder if it did work, would we get fed up with being alerted any time we were mentioned in a post?

Ok for people like me, who probably don't get many mentions, but can you imagine a heated thread?

chewbacca sorry to argue but I use the mobile site always and there us no @ but if I change to the desktop site there it is

Apparently that used to work on GN but has fallen into disrepair.
Just another way that we're treated as the poor relation to MN.

Thank you for the explanation, @Esspee. That’ll be a very useful feature if/when we get it.

Nope! ?

Sorry Lucca, I didn't see your post @ 21.46 yesterday. Apparently the @ in question is only on the mobile site and it doesn't work anyway!

Should we all petition GNHQ to get the @ feature up and running?

BlueBelle I have it on my iPad.

Well I only use the mobile on my iPad and it ain’t there so I m giving up

It's all very weird Bluebelle!
Gremlins in the cogs.

Callistemon I have just changed from the MOBILE site to the DESKTOP and it’s there What the fxxx!!!
exactly the opposite of you !!!

Call me stupid
Never, @MerylStreep

I just changed to the mobile site and there it was!
The ineffective @!

Well I never, who knew.

Earlier I mentioned I was expecting some meltdowns when it eventually is up and running. That is based on some of the paranoid posts since the quote feature has come into use.

Marydoll, Lucca
I must be dense too!
