Hi Matthias,

You can either do what I just did with your name and copy the name above the post. It's tricky, you need to place your cursor just after the name and use the mouse to drag and highlight the name. It requires some patience as it doesn't always work easily.

What most people do is to use the @ symbol then type the name of the person (lower case works fine) without a space. So for you, I'd type @ followed by matthiaskenter Matthias Kenter
That usually works. However, if the name is common, sometimes it is better to just use the surname if it is uncommon. A dropdown list of suggestions appears.

For others, the combination of letters may be different, for example Paul's address is @ followed by pfilkin. However, the surname alone works nicely. So just type @ followed by filkin Paul 

I hope this helps!

All the best,

Ali

Hello Alison,

thanks a lot! I think it has worked:

Indeed!

I resorted to triple clicking the line with the name in it, then copy & paste (Ctrl + c, Ctrl + v), then deleting the unwanted pieces like "x hours ago", and I guess it works,

does it?

Hi Matthias,

Yes, that worked. Using the @ is easier so long as you're able to find the combination of letters that works. I've just found out what my letter combination is, it's afield. So typing @ followed immediately by afield works but so does @ followed by field Alison Field or @ followed by alison for example. It's just a matter of trying to see what works. You'll  know it's working if a popup menu appears with the name you want in the list...

All the best,

Ali

A couple more tricks...

Hover over the name and look at the bottom of your screen where windows usually displays the url:

And... an interesting one I found when names have accents in them and the url actually doesn't work that way.  Try the @ followed by the name and replace the accented characters with an underscore.  I found that one by accident!

Ah! Nice one, Paul!

Clever! I wouldn't have thought of that but it makes sense!

Thanks!
