How Do You Add the @replies in an Answer?

Type @name

You type @username – pretty simple – usually it will give you a hand with an auto-complete.

I believe caps are important in the process. Or instance @Benseven won’t work, but @benseven will.

Type the @jonfreed

by typing the @ symbol with NO space after it. Then, you should notice that after the first letter or two you can just hit “enter” as Fluther has an auto-fill feature that will even allow you to scroll to the name you want.

Type @. Then use the arrow keys to select the user name from the box. The box only includes people who have contributed to the current thread.

@elijahsuicide, @benseven, @EmpressPixie, @SpatzieLover, @Lightlyseared:
Thanks! So Cool!

Sometimes the yellow box with the usernames will simply not load. I have yet to find out why this is, as it sometimes occurs in both small and large threads. If this is the case, you can still use the @convention, and it should add a hyperlink automatically when you post your message.

Pro tip: if the link doesn’t show in preview, it could be because you’ve spelled the username wrong. So this can be a hint to recheck the username, if you are someone who appreciates using the correct username to address the user (which I do).

@dynamicduo – I find that too. One for the web heads to figure out!

@jonfreed the better you get on here, the more lurve you’ll get! Lurve to you!
