Hi all, if I’m reading a particular topic and I read something that a person wrote, what is the proper way to ask that person a question? For instance, I just hit reply to ask a person a question, but when they finally replied he said to put @ in front of the name . is that how its done? Thanks. ---

If you hit reply on their post it notifies them. If you use the @ sign ahead of their handle it will notify them. If they set a thread to “watching” they get a notice when anyone posts to it. Hope this helps. Maybe @Countryboyjvd1971 has something to add. Welcome to the best MJ forum going! ---

Just make sure you don’t put a space between the @ and their name… ---

You guys got it covered @Myfriendis410 @Greenleaf Look at you screen name above When you tag someone make sure it looks like that nothing before or after and no space between @ and username 😉 Welcome to the play ground ---

Adding the @ also emails them as to who and in which thread sometimes a person may not answer a question in another persons thread to not clutter and confuse original poster. You will find tagging people into your own thread will get more feedback at times 😉 ---

A lot of times I will only “like” a tag I get if I notice someone else has a good reply or I don’t have the answer myself. ---

Likewise I may be 8-12hrs late in getting to the tag and see by then it is already in good hands
