Tagging not working?

[jefmcg]

@vickster has tagged me a couple of times today, but I haven't had a notification. Is there something that needs fixing?

 

[vickster]

@jefmcg have you got me on ignore?

 

[jefmcg]

Just me then. I didn't get an alert for that either

I thought this was going to be an interesting thread in SC&P!

Have you got the tag alerts turned on in your alert preferences?

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

I think there are certain criteria behind you actually getting a page when you are tagged. I know I received quite a few yesterday and overnight so they system is working but I can't remember what the criteria are.... So @Shaun ...

I do know that if you tag someone when editing a post (rather than when writing the original), it doesn't send a notification.

Edit. Like this @jefmcg

 

[jefmcg]

Thanks. It was working a few days ago, and I haven't changed anything. I've checked my alerts preferences, and they are all checked.

Can someone else tag me, and see if I get a message. I've unwatched this thread, so will only get an alert if tagging works.

 

[Dogtrousers]

Can you hear me @jefmcg

 

[jefmcg]

Can you hear me @jefmcg

Yeah, but only because I accidentally put the thread back on watch. I didn't get a tagged alert.

 

[jefmcg]

@Shaun any idea why I don't get tagged messages?

 

[winjim]

It doesn't seem to work for me either. I thought I'd fixed it by saving my settings but then it stopped again :-(

Surely if the tagging isn't working then @Shaun won't get the alert?

I got all three alerts from @SatNavSaysStraightOn, @coffeejo, and @jefmcg - but you only get an alert if it is added to the initial post. Editing them in afterwards doesn't produce an alert - isn't that right @ColinJ?

Can you confirm you got these alerts?

I got that you replied, not that I was tagged.
