How To Use @ Mentions In Community

Published

You can @ mention members in a variety of ways in the Community.

If you reply to a thread, the @ mention will be automatic!

You can also type the @ symbol and the person's name.

Notifications will go out at the top of every hour if you are specifically @ mentioned in a thread or comment.

You can turn off being notified by going to your notifications and unchecking the box that says "email me when someone mentions me."

We've also set up a feedback forum for any issues you may be having while using the @ mentions in Community. You can add them HERE.

Crystal Bruce‍ I have to say that while I like the automatic quoting turned off, it's a tiny bit irritating to have to go back up to the original post to find a [Reply] button. So I'll likely end up using the [Quote] button and deleting the quoted text, just as I used to do using the [Reply] button.

Right back at you Sunshine Watson‍! Hope things are going smoothly in your new position. Your former coworkers miss you!

Joanne Felci‍ - I just tried it myself, and it seems to find me okay if you type in "ryan hyde" with the space, as Crystal indicated. However, it does seem a lot faster to just start with a last name. Same is true with your name.
