I have read that when indicating which pp you are referring/replying to, tagging is easier than bolding the poster's name. How is it easier? is there a way to do it other than remembering the poster's name and adding @ to it? Is there a clickable way to do it?

It is easy to do on my desktop, but when using the app on my iPad it seems like a lot of fiddling around,

Also, is there a way to quote the whole post, including the poster's name, when using the app?

Do my questions make sense?

Oops. Thread should be "Tagging other posters".

Hi OP,

There's not a way to quote the entire post.

When you @ someone, a drop-down should appear with suggested usernames, and it'll include those on the thread, so really, you'd only need to type the first letter of their username. Is this not happening on Ipad? Is it the APP that you're using?

Thanks Lily. I didn't know I could do that.

Hi Andylion,

Do let us know if that feature is working for you - we hope it'll make life a little easier for you.

@FlissMumsnet: it does. See? Grin

Thanks.

The feature can be turned on or off though so not everybody you @ will have the feature enabled.
