Hello all. @46HudsonPU has emailed me to let me know that some of you were having difficulty with the reply feature of the forum. That is by placing an '@' sign directly in front of a username, that person would be alerted that they have had a reply, or a mention, in a Discussion.

Simply put, I'm afraid this function will not work if you have a space in your username. Unfortunately there is no 'fix' for this. It can be coded, but the advice from the techs is that this would cause issues down the the road.

So, in order to the reply feature work you will need to close up your username ('nickcarraway' rather than 'nick caraway'), or use an underscore (nick_carraway), however the closed option is preferable. A hyphen will work, but again, closed is the better option, followed by underscore.

Here's a guide on how to change your username.

1. Click your current username as it appears in the top navigation, above the forum:



2. In the new screen, look to the left-hand side, and click 'Edit My Account'



3. In the 'Edit My Account' pop-up box, go to the Username field, and close-up the space in your username. Press 'Save', and you're done. By the way, should you ever want to change your username, this is the process to do so.
