Maybe it's just not working in sandbox? ~Sixthhokage1

Nope

Worked for me just fine.

I don't know, then. The numbers worked for Deadbeatloser earlier. I wonder if there's something else wrong?

And it's possible being logged into the same computer doesn't let you send PM's to that IP Address? Just a guess.

I got a notification to the alt through on just separate browsers, but your notification didn't work.

Then I got no idea what's going on.

So you didn't get the Djpon3 one on that particular browser, right? Just to 100% clarify.

Also, maybe take this to the Sandbox, although these are specific issues, I guess. I think numbers have some effect on this. >_<

Hang on. I'm changing the markup.

Agreed, can't send to yourself, but ~Crazysamaritan and ~crazysamaritan both work (I got two PMs, one to each).

You can send to yourself.

The markup has changed. It is now ~@/TroperName. tilde ampersand slash tropername all run together.

There must be a character after the name. If it is at the end of a line with no character following, it doesn't get picked up.

~Fighteer.

~Tropers/Fighteer.

~Figh Teer.

Gettin' nothing. Does it work when you edit a post or only on the initial post?

Thanks, FE.

~Tropers/Irene Should well now.

Doesn't work on edit. New post only, for the moment.

I just added something so people don't have to remember a character after the name.

It doesn't work with the {{ }} markup, Eddie.

If you end the post with the tag in CamelCase, it won't send the message. If you end the post with {{}} tags, it does send the message.

So that ~Fast Eddie doesn't need more work, we could just say "don't end the post with the tag".

It doesn't work right with punctuated names. I tried it here for user T.testPL but it sent a message to user T instead.

Also, I would think about installing it in discussion-like pages as well. For example, in Ask The Tropers reports involving specific people it can be useful.

Bumping; are there any bugs with this that need to be submitted?

Technically, expanding it to cover other kinds of discussions and make it work on non-alphanumeric user names is an idea, but I'd rather have dev time and effort spent on implementing this rather than to add more work here.

Alright, since this is covered there, I'll go ahead and lock this.
