petoskeycheryl - if you hover over someone's screen name their tag will show. Not everyone's screen name is their tag, so it's always better to check. You can also click the @ symbol in the menu bar and just type the user name in.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

There are two other ways of "tagging" or getting the attention of someone you want to notify about your post.

First, you can simply quote their post, as I did in this case with you. With the quote feature, they will be notified of your post.

You can also tag by using the tagging button in the "reply" or "create post" box. Formatting buttons can only be seen there. The "tag" button is the middle button in the far right set of buttons. It is the one with the @ next to a blue figure. When you click that button, a dialogue box will open. Simply start typing the display name, and potential matches will populate below the search box. Simply select the person you are trying to tag, and you're good to go.

ETA: Oops, I didn't read all of Robin's hummingbirdstones post to you. Looks like she touched on the tagging button as well.

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
