I wondered why sometimes I wouldn't get a notification about a reply. Makes sense now! I'll keep those colons there :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reminder-how-replying-works-and-paging-doesnt-work-on-hellobee#post-1113005 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 10:47:26 +0000 MrsH 1113005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had no idea there was a difference between the two - thanks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reminder-how-replying-works-and-paging-doesnt-work-on-hellobee#post-1112997 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 10:45:55 +0000 Pepper 1112997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, this is helpful. I've been removing the colon when mentioning someone in the middle of a post. Won't do that anymore! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reminder-how-replying-works-and-paging-doesnt-work-on-hellobee#post-1112868 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 10:20:14 +0000 HeartAbandoned 1112868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Such a helpful post!

I didn't realize we needed the colon for the alert to go through. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reminder-how-replying-works-and-paging-doesnt-work-on-hellobee#post-1112522 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 09:14:39 +0000 mrbee 1112522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMcD: that's the safest way to make sure an alert gets sent! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reminder-how-replying-works-and-paging-doesnt-work-on-hellobee#post-1112515 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 09:12:06 +0000 deactivated_account 1112515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do we need the colon or not? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reminder-how-replying-works-and-paging-doesnt-work-on-hellobee#post-1112488 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 09:07:46 +0000 lindseykaye 1112488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! I often remove the colon since I use people's usernames (but use the reply function) in the middle of sentences and the colon messed with the flow of a sentence. But now I'll leave it in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reminder-how-replying-works-and-paging-doesnt-work-on-hellobee#post-1112373 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 08:50:49 +0000 MapleMoose 1112373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks, I was just wondering the other day if people would get the notification email if I copy/paste their name after the @ and now I see that I need the colon too. Also I didn't know that people would only be notified if they have also commented on the thread. Helpful info! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reminder-how-replying-works-and-paging-doesnt-work-on-hellobee#post-1112364 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 08:48:37 +0000 Dandelion 1112364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good refresher! I always wondered if the paging worked. I never tried it, but I've seen it in threads before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reminder-how-replying-works-and-paging-doesnt-work-on-hellobee#post-1112331 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 08:43:50 +0000 mrbee 1112331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought we'd post a quick refresher on how replies work!</p> <p>1) You can click REPLY next to any comment, and an @username will appear in the text box. For example, if you click to REPLY to this post... @mrbee will appear in your posting form.</p> <p>2) When you submit your post, anyone you've replied to will get an email alert. For example, if you reply to my post with a @mrbee in there... I will get an email alert.</p> <p>3) If you don't want to get email alerts, you can always optout here:<br /> <a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/profile/edit" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/profile/edit</a></p> <p>A few extra notes:</p> <p>* PLEASE USE THE REPLY LINK!: A number of times, we'll get a question about why a reply notification didn't go through... usually the issue is that the person who wrote the reply typed in the person's username by hand. If you accidentally have a typo in the username (or remove the colon), then the email alert won't be sent!</p> <p>* WE'RE NOT ABLE TO SUPPORT PAGING: We can only send an email notification to someone who has already commented on the thread! We used to allow "paging," where you could send a notification to someone who hadn't yet replied on the thread... but that ended up becoming an issue for us. If a user was paged and marked that email as spam, then everyone's email notifications would stop being delivered! So we had to stop support paging.</p> <p>Let us know if you have any questions! </p>
