This article shows you how to tag a member in a post and how to change your notification settings for mentions on MyFitnessPal. To tag someone, just type the @ symbol directly before their username, without any spaces.
Tagging a member in a post is a good way to get their attention. If they have the "Notify me when people mention me" setting turned on, they'll receive a notification when you tag them. Tags also make it easy to identify a specific member you are discussing or create a link to their profile.
To tag someone, type the @ symbol right before their username, with no space in between. As you start typing, you'll see a list of usernames to choose from. You can tag more than one person by adding spaces between usernames, like @user1 @user2 @user3.
