when i push the @message line

the name comes up on my post

but......it doesn't come up correctly frequently

the persons name isn't in a different color

therefore you can't push the line successfully to send a message

or when i write the @@Kindle it doesn't always come up in color either

in other words - people do not always know if they have a message

i hope i said this right, and you understand

@proudgrammy

woo hoo

it didn't work, so you can see what i mean

i didn't use the mention

i put the @with my name

thanx for your help

I always hit the mention button, is that the wrong way to do it? @@proudgrammy

Where is the mention button? I use the iPhone ap.

@@Elode you are doing it correctly

@@HappygoSusan

there is supposed to be a word called "mention" under your weight, starting weight, height that stuff

under your name where you are going to post , many of your stats are posted

ie height, weight, DOS

under all that info would be the word mention

i just went to your name and pushed on the mention button - it came up

@@HappygoSusan

the alternative if you want to specifically want to address someone is to write their name with the @sign in front of their name-no space to be put in after the @ sign - for example @@HappygoSusan

@@Elode lets see what happens

@proudgrammy - @proudgrammy @proudgrammy

@@proudgrammy Yep, I got 3 "mention" notifications! I usually go back and check previous post because some people will be Talking to me but they don't do the "mention" so I don't see it.

@@proudgrammy

I knew about the "@" thing, but I don't see a member notification on my ap. it doesn't look like the "@" thing is working here, since your name didn't change colors.

Susan

My bad, it highlighted after I hit reply!

thanx guys for your info

i don't understand what happens to my "blue" popup sometimes

there are times i will see someone else posts correctly with the @persons name

but it shows up in black (not blue ) - so you can't push it and alert that person

but who knows

maybe i had one too many spiked eggnog

oh well guys

thanx for your help

hope you both had a beautiful christmas

happy friday

see you around the neighborhood
