Thank you in advance.

Just make up any old BS; put "quote marks" around it, and claim that is what they said. Works for some.

silly question but whats tag another member? for me cc is great and there are a few members ( ralleighnut briggs682,dclane, mikeymustard etc sorry not enough room for the many more i should include) that i look forward to reading there posts would tagging them make it easier to find there posts?

@davidphilips tagging sends an alert to a member to say you've mentioned them in a post. Just put @ before their username and start typing. You'll get a shortlist of matching names and as you add more characters the list shortens until you see the one you want. Click / tap it and it'll insert the @Username tag for you.

There is one caveat - it won't send an alert if you've already posted and you try to edit your post to add the @tag - it only works when you create your reply.

Cheers,
Shaun

No, what you want is "follow". Click on their picture, then click "Follow" in the pop up.

You can then see all the posts of the people you are following on your news feed https://www.cyclechat.net/account/news-feed
