Thanks ActiveRain as I Couldn't Figure Out How to Tag a Member

 

I couldn't figure out how to tag someone on Monday morning. I am following him so I thought if I typed his name it would highlight like Facebook does but no way. I tried saving it and going in to edit but nothing. I knew it couldn't be so sophisicated that we would have to go and get the members link but still I couldn't figure it out. So this morning ActiveRain put this comment on the site.

Hi Kristin - I spent about 15 minutes fooling with it a few days ago without getting it right, but the little tip box got me straightened out this morning. Now I just have to figure out what it's good for :)

Hi Ron,

If there is highjacking going on, count me in as well as Suzanne McLaughlin , Michael Jacobs , Dick Greenberg , Anna Banana Kruchten. Until today, I could not tag on ActiveRain but now we all are. What fun!

Hi Anna,

Now some of the comments I have read lately make a lot of sense. Thanks Anna Banana Kruchten for the heads up.

When I first noticed the capability now existed to tag a member in a comment, I about tore my hair out trying to figure out how to do it.  Finally, I asked one of the bloggers who I noticed had mastered it, and was given instructions.

That little box you saw with the message is something we just added today. Glad to hear that it helped you find what you were looking for! That's awesome! It's always nice to get confirmation that something we experimented with is doing what we hoped it would do!

Tag away :-)

Kristin, Thanks as I was unsure exactly how this works and at least now I might try it to see what happens. I will try Myrl Myrl Jeffcoat since she commented above! It worked!

Hi Bob,

I was very excited to see the box as the night before I had trying to like Robert Gilbert and since I do follow him  I thought by typing his name, it would show up blue like FB but no way. Then the next morning I saw your box and remembered I had trouble so it was a great treat. It was so simple I almost felt stupid but glad I know now. Thanks Bob Stewart and Kerrie La Guardia.

Hi David,

There are two ways it will show up the name. You must follow the member or the member has already left a comment on the post. I just like to do it because it is a friendly way to say hello.

Hi Bob,

You were the one I was trying to mention the first night but didn't know how to add the symbol. I think I was on someone's blog and I was saying I liked your comment above. I still wrote it but couldn't get your name to show up? Figured it out now Robert (Bob) Gilbert.

Hi Kristin Hamilton , I'm starting to get used to this tagging myself.  I don't think we'll get points for it though.

Hi Silvia Dukes PA, REALTOR . You may be right. I just see so many points but it might be my likes.
