Resolved Odd behaviour with mentions

[DavidR8]

When the @ function in tapatalk is used to mention someone it later shows up on the site using the tags <mention>username<mention/>.
I can't tell if the mention actually worked or not.

I'm on a Mac using Firefox and it looks to me like it is working correctly.

[mention]Lonnie [/mention] let’s see how this mention shows up.

Nope, that one didn't work....
In your other posts, I see @username showing correct.

So that's the issue I'm raising.
If I type @username it works fine. If I use the @ function it does not.
Because it's Tapatalk I suspect there isn't anything we can do from the forum side of things but I wanted to raise it.

What is "mention" supposed to do?

 

[DavidR8]

It does the same thing as typing @username except that it is pre-populated with previously used names. Super handy instead of typing the name(s)

OK. I haven't ever used Tapatalk and so don't know anything about it. I will say though that User problems with it usually start right after whomever sells it introduces a new version. And usually persists until Xenforo releases a patch that fixes the problems that Tapatalk's changes caused. Historically the problems are seldom something that an Admin can fix. So it may be a while before the problem is fixed.

Thanks @wa5cab I'm not fussed about it at all.
