Quick question about usernames.
Quick question about usernames.
I've noticed that when browsing through threads, some users have the @
prefix, while others don't, despite both being members of this instance.
What's the reason for that? Is it something to do with the "Display name" option in the settings?
Yes. If you set a display name, it displays without the "@". If you leave the display name blank, it displays the username with the "@".

Also, when it comes to pinging other users, will the "@" work for both their display name and username or do you need to know their username for that (ie. can only ping a username)?
2 0 Replylooks like you need to know their username; display name is just cosmetic.
2 0 ReplyThat I do not know for sure. But you can get the username by hovering over their display name.
