Bit of a hiccup going on seen in these posts https://www.fiatforum.com/leisure-lo...ml#post2992820
Attempting to tag unknown being and it just tagged unk
and also

Tried to tag dragon man and just tagged dragon

Not sure what can be done though

i think speech marks might make it a bit complicated tbh like for example I will tag @Ben But it would have to be @"Ben"

Edit, it did it there, tagged ben b instead of just the boss man @ben

ben · 04-04-2012

It's an issue where a user has a space in their username, not much that can be done about it unless we turn on the delimiter (need to put ; after the name)

If you need to mention a user with a split name, use mention tags (mention)username(/mention) - but replace the ( ) with [ ].

Ah, that Ben B tagging is interesting.

When tagging using the mention tag it comes out like this:

@

{MENTION}
ben
{/MENTION}

testing - @dombooth

Edit: That worked. When adding the tags you don't need to use and @, the system does it itself.

I didn't get a notification for that.

I didn't use the tags and the @, just:

ben

then clicked the button.

I think it gets confused with ben because his name is an autolink anyway.

Aha, had to open another browser to check that out, doesn't work on IE8.

EDIT: Your name doesn't work with them either.

@Eklipze3k

It works like this: {MENTION}Eklipze3k{/MENTION}

But not by just clicking the button.

Noticed this a few times, instead of having to use the mention bits can we not use the "delimiter" because what if we dont realise that the user name has a space and tag someone completely different so when we tag if we use the ; after then it knows that is the end of the tag instead of trying to guess if someone has a space.

Hope that made sense, im sleepy

ben · 09-07-2012

Nah, having to put ; after every name would become a right PITA (you can't use it for some and not others)

It sends emails now too - did it do that before?

(They default to ON, you need to turn them off in the CP)
