For me, it never works if I'm using the gardenweb.com address. So you can start there anyway. The site randomly bounces me back and forth between the 2 domains.

Since the term 'tagging' online can refer to various actions, what exactly do you mean?

btw, I use ONLY GardenWeb for access to the site and I have not noticed any difficulties........YMMV

Hmmmm, now that I've gone back and tested it, you may be right, patriceny :-) The @ symbol does not 'green' up with the user name so maybe what I thought was working properly was not! It's a bit hard to know when you are on the sending end of the tag rather than the receiving end as I assume there is no acknowledgement back to you as the tagger. Or is there via Houzz access?

Or is there via Houzz access?

That I don't know. I avoid using that domain out of pure curmudgeon-ness. :)

Well I always use houzz access and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

On this thread, of course, the tagging works. For a while it was working pretty consistently (not that I use it so much ) but lately there are times I want to tag and it's just not enabled.

I will attribute it to houzz randomness I guess.

@User and all (See I can tag!) thank you.

Hi there, Just saw this! It does appear that it is only working when you access the site through a houzz.com link. I'm going to chat with our team and see if we can make that function on gardenweb urls as well!

Thank you Emily. @Emily Hurley my point though is that I am using houzz exclusively and the tagging does not work consistently on the houzz link.

I didn't know there was such a thing!! How do you get notified of a tag?

@Jasdip I am able to tag you so if this works for you as it works for me.... in your notifications list it should say something like salonva mentioned you in a post or something like that.

At least on mine that's how it works. ((sometimes))

Hey Salonva, I got an email saying that you tagged me, with your full message! So obviously members have to turn their messages feature on.

My name @Jasdip doesn't show up as green on my screen though,

Jasdip - check to see which domain you are in, at the top of the screen. The "@Jasdip" part won't show up as green if you're in Gardenweb.

(Or....I should say I don't THINK it will show up as green. It doesn't turn up as green for me when I'm in gardenweb - but you will get the notification that someone tagged you in your alerts....I think anyway. One never really knows with the glitch-iness around here. HA!)

Even more bizarre, as I said I only use houzz. When I got the notification that Jasdip and patrice commented, when i clicked to open the thread, it opens in gardenweb and the @ names are not in green. When I force it to be houzz, (I go to houzz and then kitchen table and click on the thread, the AT names are in green. Also, in houzz, I simply get a notice but not the full text as in messaging. I have no clue.

I think I will leave it to the IT pros and now recognize that it's beyond me. I am not crazy.

It's definitely not you. :)

The random glitchiness around here is bad. Today none of the posts are sorting in order of last response for me. I've learned to roll with it. I figure it's a fun way to keep my brain used to random pointless chaos.

Emily, if your out there reading this, could you also see about adding Home Decorating Conversations and the DIY forums to the topics lists? They don’t seem to be listed so I can’t access them from my phone when I want to start a new thread.

Sorry for the hijack. I can never remember how to make contact directly.

Aha! Couple questions:

1. If you are consistently accessing the Houzz.com site and not seeing the option for @ replies, are you accessing on a computer or mobile device? App or website?

2. Are you getting notified of an @reply and then when you click the notification it brings you to a gardenweb.com url?

3. Daisy - Have you followed the Home Decorating Conversations and the DIY forums with your account? If so, and you are accessing the site through mobile web (not app) I believe they will show for you.

Thanks, Emily. yes, it’s there now.

@Emily Hurley-- sorry I didn't see this last night.

1- I am accessing Houzz consistently on one device, a chromebook.

My issue is that the @ option is sporadically available. I think I get the notifications of being tagged as I do a comment on a thread I am following. When I click on it, it works properly. For me, the issue is/was that the option would disappear. Not a big deal, but I couldn't find any logic.

Maybe the site was extra glitchy the last few days because I also had it where the discussion list would not show in chronological order. Someone else mentioned that.

I think today it's working properly.
