Tagging problem

I've had this sort of problem for a long time but have found a way around it. Normally you type @ and followed by the member's name. With some of them I just need to type the first three letters and then click on their avatar (it pops up after three letters) and their whole name comes up and it produces the tag.

If this doesn't happen then I just type @ followed by their full name and click on the avatar and it always works.

I always have to type the whole of Woo's name but only three letters of ARMANDII's

I don't worry about it and just accept that there's a glitch somewhere (usually think it's on my computer ).

 

Operating systems and browsers being used please?

 

W7 IE11

When I say I've had the problem for a long time I mean at least a couple of years. As it's so easy to just type in the recipients full name I'm not bothered about it.

 

Lest said soonest mended

 

@Scrungee - there is something in my head that this was a problem a few years back when we first migrated to this forum software, and then the problem was eventually worked out; however, if I a correct, it affected everyone and not just selected OS/browsers.

I suspect what we have here is a problem similar to a web based portal that we have to use at work - it will only work up to IE9 without some user intervention; IE10 & IE11 require the site address to be added to the 'Compatibility Mode' list within IE - - might be worth trying that actually, and see if it solves the problem?

We've raised this in the office for @Webmaster to take up with the tech folks. Meantime, I would simply suggest that you don't use IE11 (is it even supported anymore?)

 

I'm a dinosaur, I'll keep using W7 and IE11 until they give out on me. The computer is last millennium and doing OK so far!
