When I first joined this website, I just copied and pasted someone's name, and the site would put the "@" in front of them and tag them (at least I think they were tagged). I don't know exactly when, but that trick stopped working and I haven't been able to figure out how to tag them since. I don't understand BB codes--in fact I only found out about them when I looked under "Information"--so I'd like to know if there's a simple way of tagging someone. ETA: Er, sorry about the word "complicated" in the title. That was a working title and I forgot to delete that. The codes are complicated to me because I don't understand them--I don't know if they're actually complicated.
Are you sure the site added the @, or did you? If I type Elven Candy nothing happens, but if I type @Elven Candy it tags you. So... not too complicated! Just add the @ yourself. ETA: You don't need to copy and paste, either - just type the @ and start typing the person's name, and a box will pop up with choices of who to tag.
Oh, yay! It tagged! I guess my brain just broke and I didn't remember it went blue and tagged once I posted the post. Thank you so much!
