Mentions not working right?

Post by mik »

When I @ now and start typing names, their software isn’t proposing usernames to add them as a MenChun.

If I type it in correctly, then it will add them - sometimes.

@mik this works for me....if I type @sun.... it'll suggest @Sundayjumper for example.
I updated this over the weekend so it may be why.

Might be browser related? Working on Firefox

It’s been doing it for a couple of days.

Browser is possible. Safari and iOS 16.5 when I type @m it suggests nothing. Will try on laptop later.

For me it's not working in the Quick Reply box, but it is in the full post reply page.

I updated over the weekend, so sounds about right.

Safari? Well there's your problem right there. Have you considered letting our lord and saviour Android into your life? There's a handy poll recently.
And for good measure, @mik works fine on my phone ;)

@mik earlier



Btw - this post is delivered through the miracle of safari and iPhone…

Tbf, it does seem the name thing is a bit wonky.. first letter gives me all names that include that letter but 2nd letter causes them all to disappear 🫠
Cheers,

Looking at the posts.. smention u=80 provides the @mik boxed like bold, italic etc

Also, Mik just worked for me now, so……. 🤷‍♂️😂

Possibly related - I have a notification that I was just mentioned in a post by Alex (deskjockey), but actually he mentioned Zonda. :?

I changed the mention when I realised you weren't the originator (it was a poll, so I assumed). But did it before I posted.

I’ve just typed a mention on my phone (Safari, iPhone) and it didn’t come up nor does it show in the post. It’s definitely spelt correctly.
