Regarding Quoting someone on the forums


Wasn't sure where to post this.

Can someone explain how to correctly quote someone on our forums here and why is it that when I use the @ Symbol when replying that all the users in the thread do not appear as options, only some do?

I don't understand that functionality.

Functionality? We don't need no steenking functionality!

Cut and paste, hit the " icon above. Type their name somewhere.
Could it be that when the "someone mentions me" box in un-checked in the "notification" page of a profile, it automatically disables the @ function for other members?

I didn't really there was an option like that in the profile.

I think you might be right.

I just used the @ symbol in this thread and only you and ebm appear, so according to what you are saying, the rest on this thread have it so that they cannot be notified.

I think that probably solves it.

This why I asked you to let me know if you p a notification from Ago in a post recently. I tried copy and paste with your name in a post in reply to you.. Not sure if it works or not. You didn't answer so probably not. 
The @ function seems to work inconsistently. It may link to a member in one thread, but not in another. 
@jay73, 
I get notified often, but not every time. This time it worked for me but not for you.
