Going to sleep soon though and turning off the Cricket World Cup final between NZ and England which I am also watching </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-tag-members-in-posts#post-2043223 Sun, 14 Jul 2019 09:24:05 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2043223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nope, it’s not a tag. I wish it was. You can use simple html to make things bold or italics or whatever, but as Jenni says, that many keystrokes on a phone is annoying. I rarely do it. I try to put peoples’ names at the start of paragraphs, but am not 100% with that either. Jenni will just have to read this paragraph to see that I mentioned her.<br /> I wrote two posts earlier this year and never got back to them—was going through a rough time and by the time I was ready to get back to them, they were ancient. Don’t do that. I saw that you recently mentioned that you’d like to hear what someone thought of the idea you posted. We are all like that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-tag-members-in-posts#post-2043219 Sun, 14 Jul 2019 08:38:03 +0000 rachylou 2043219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hee hee. That’s true! And here I am :)</p> <p>We’re on the pull model here. As opposed to the push model. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-tag-members-in-posts#post-2043218 Sun, 14 Jul 2019 08:07:39 +0000 Jenni NZ 2043218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do most of my posts on my phone and so I don’t bother with bolding people’s names. I just type as per normal. I think FashIntern put something in a recent post on how you could do the names in bold even on a phone but it looked annoying and I am too lazy.<br /> Most of the really regular Fabbers check the site several times a day- we are addicted! I think this is my third visit today, a quiet Sunday at home doing some sorting-out things.<br /> One politeness thing is not writing a new post of your own and then not checking it. I do occasionally do that when I write one just before bed, but sometimes I say that I can’t get back to replies for at least 8 hours. Just before bed is a good time to write for me but the only people up then are the Aussies and the US/Canadian East Coasters, the US/Canadian West Coasters are all asleep. Except for maybe Rachylou who I suspect stays up very late! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-tag-members-in-posts#post-2043214 Sun, 14 Jul 2019 07:47:07 +0000 rachylou 2043214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you really want someone to respond, you can message them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-tag-members-in-posts#post-2043207 Sun, 14 Jul 2019 07:05:36 +0000 Barbara Diane 2043207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bold items (if I'm on the computer) so that if someone checks back to the post, they are more likely to see that I responded.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-tag-members-in-posts#post-2043197 Sun, 14 Jul 2019 06:22:27 +0000 Anonymous 2043197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For some reason I can’t post this in technical support and though searching couldn’t find the answer, I apologize if this is posted under the wrong section.</p> <p>In replies I often see members names in bold lettering, is this a way to tag them or only draw attention so they see a response? If we don’t have this feature, it would be great if we could tag or quote members and they get alerted to this, because it’s easy to not even know if someone responds to your post in a topic if you don’t constantly check. </p>
