Mention fail?
Mentions appear to be inop. They just show an @ sign, with nothing follwing. Even mentions in existing old posts, that worked previously, are doing this.

So I wonder what other things this skin change will break. That's the beauty and wonder of all "upgrades"....... |

In the past, there was a problem with mentioning
@Andrew R Stewart @Andrew R Stewart; As far as I can tell, no matter how one does the mention (@ symbol, or [mention] tags), the system still reads it from left to right, and picks out @Andrew, a different user. Oops, it chose to do "Andrew R", so it doesn't deal well with the middle initial, and ignored it alltogether when I tried using the [mention] tags (half worked using the @ symbol). |

Are you on BikeForumsNG? And what browser and device are you on?
Andrew R Stewart has been a member since 2012, with 11,399 posts. He has been quoted 1661 times. And, has been mentioned exactly ZERO times. On the other hand, Andrew R has made exactly 3 posts and has been mentioned 41 times (almost all having to do with Andrew R Stewart). Andrew has also made 3 posts, and has been mentioned 11 times, although perhaps one can chalk many of those to careless posting. |
^^^^^ W@G - the space(s) in the user name complicate/confound the little auto-formatter humunculus.

If you gotta humunculus I'd get a scan for it.

I'm using Firefox. However, it is not a browser problem. Although, apparently not a common problem for very many users.

^^^^^^ Easiest and most reliable fix, if doable, would be a filter on the registration process that doesn't allow spaces in user names.

Thanks for that post Trocadile [ @Trocadile ]. I have never heard of that trail. Do you or rholland1951[ @rholland1951 ] have any other information, like access points and road surfaces, especially paved segments...
PS: For some reason today the MENTION function of the BB codes blanks out the name rather than MENTIONING it. :notamused: A short while later I posted to that thread:

Thanks for those informative replies, @Trocadile and @rholland1951. I look forward to my own investigation. Unfortunately your names are still unmentionable. :(

Another example. Wipekitty appears to quote me:

What water bottle do you use?
My preference for water is flavored carbonated water. [The local brand here around Boston is Polar Seltzer and it comes in a lot of flavors.] It comes in one liter bottles with a screw top cap to contain the carbonation.

...Like @Jim from Boston, I sometimes use 1-liter bottles. I'm not a fan of carbonation while riding, but these bottles nicely hold a lot of water. I tend to use them early/late in the season when it's cooler and I'm combining commutes, transportation, and recreational rides to save daylight.

Hmmm... :foo:

It's like a nagging marriage. I don't think I'll get scabies and die from it after 12 years. Oh well. |
