Over the last few days we have apparently had a few issues with tagging/mentioning our fellow roleplayers.
In order to ensure that your tags reach your roleplay partners, make sure you're following these steps:

There are 3 ways to easily find out a member's username when posting.
Tagging works by placing an @ before the person's username.
Important things to remember:
- A new line, space or special character must be before the @ or the system will assume it's an email address and will not create the tag.
- NO SPACE between the @ and the username.
- A username must be used, however after being posted the members Display Name will be shown.
- Tagging a display name will not work. The system will attempt to find a username matching what was typed.
- A new line, space or special character will end a tag. Any name containing these is not a username.
- Usernames are always entirely lowercase alpha-numeric characters. Examples: admin harry steve37
- Multiple tags must be separated by a new line, space or special character or they will not render properly.
- Since usernames cannot contain commas or apostrophes, adding these in your post immediately after tagging a username will not negatively affect the end result.
Finding a member's username for tagging.
There are 3 ways to easily find out a member's username when posting.
- Hover over any Display Name you see and the member's username will be displayed with the @ symbol.
- If you have started typing a quick reply you can Alt + Click on any Display Name and the tag will be appended to the end of the quick reply message.
- If you are on a composition page you can click the Insert User Link icon. Insert User Link Search for the member by any name and click on the micro profile in the results. The tag will be inserted into the message.
