      @some-user
      I'm just testing escaping minus sign in user nick because when addressing to him/her with @ , minus sign breaks the code and user doesn't get notified

      edit:
      ...well, it didn't worked ๐Ÿ™‚
      I was putting \ in front of the minus... no good
      anyone know how to fix this?

                    It's been already covered in the "formatting" and "bugs" threads. :bandit:

                        can you link post?
                        Only (similar) to this was list items with dash, but not user nicknames (in formatting thread)

                          A solution for this is to get those site developers, kick their arses and make them do something. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

                            There's only a small problem with that solution... It's impossible. :rip:

                                Do you expect everyone to use it? :doh:
                                I don't think so.

                                Workarounds might be good, but... This is, however working, a complicated crutch, let the devs just write it into the Forums' code, will we? :lol:

                                  @l33t4opera: Thanks, I knew I saw it somewhere ๐Ÿ™‚ However, will that also trigger a notification to that user?
