When replying to a post how can I get the original posters name in my post like this:-

 

Thanks.

 

 

[Ralf001]

type @Daffy D

[metisdead]

For example, just type it starting with the @Daffy D then click on that  and you will get this: @Daffy D

[Daffy D]

metisdead   @metisdead  

 

Sorry missing something here 

 

Don't work for me

    When type the name you will get a dropdown that you then click to have it in your post.

 After clicking the name on the dropdown it then appears as @ralf100 .

Try again:-  

 

@ubonjoe  

 

Nope don't get a drop down menu   (Grrrr! crazy hair tearing)

(Should be crazy feather puffing)

Works for me on my phone.

You have to type @ and the name without a gap.

 

[Daffy D]

Try again with no space - again:- 

 

@ThaIrish Sean 

 

Still Nope don't get a drop down menu   (Grrrr! crazy hair tearing)

(Should be crazy feather puffing)

 

Could it be my browser? 

 

I'm using Edge, anyone getting this to work with Edge?

 

????

@Daffy D I made this post from Edge.

 

Do you have a pop-up blocker or the like? Try disabling it.

 

[Daffy D]

Try without pop-up blocker:-

 

@Crossy 

Yes!!! 

 

And with pop up blocker:-

@Crossy

 

Still Yes!!!! ?

 

Just by accident just discovered the drop down, which I though would be directly under the name is in fact way down below the "Recently Browsing" banner.

 

So problem solved. "Glad I didn't have to disable the blocker for this to work - that would not have been worth it) 

 

Thanks everyone 

 

 

 

[Crossy]

Hmmm ....

 

[Daffy D]

@Crossy

 

Something still a bit strange.

 

The drop down has moved to "Follow Topic"

Yeah!

Think I'll just live with it. Not really that important, just wanted to know why something didn't work.

 

Thanks for your help
