OK, I'm a social media dummy.
If someone on a website requests a comment with "@some_name" supplied as the return address what do you do? Do you have to go to a particular social media site to reply? can you reply from inside the current webpage?
I searched the 'net and can't find anything useful.

the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible.
Re: The "@" address in media messages
I think you can only click on the @....... if you are signed up to whichever platform is involved. Probably best to ignore.

Re: The "@" address in media messages
I assumed that the "@fred" in a reply meant that it was a reply to fred's post, when it might otherwise not have made sense if it was several posts later.

Re: The "@" address in media messages
Thank you for the replies - I left the subject open hoping one of our social media users would have the answer.
I tried a few ideas but I suppose I will just have to remain one of the happily uneducated.

How did we ever grow up ?
Re: The "@" address in media messages
We might be able to help a little more if you could provide some details? It's probably too late for the actual 'event', but if it occurs again a copy of the actual event would be a great help. Without context your original query cannot be usefully be answered.boing wrote:I tried a few ideas but I suppose I will just have to remain one of the happily uneducated.
PS You do realise that you are one of the "social media users" here..................?
