          I will test with this post.

          EDIT: I test with IE and Opera, I click on emoticons icon to show the others but nothing happens.

                I reported it broken on October 24th.
                I've not been aware of it working since then.

                    There are now some usernames in the forums with hyphens in the middle (eg: gwen-dragon). However, when I try to flag that with an ampersand in the usual manner to create a link to the user, the result is to only flag the first half of the username... and this breaks the correct link clickability. My understanding is that the ampersand flags the text that immediately follows as being html (for Markdown interpretation)... but the hyphen seems to end that interpretation process midstream. What is the best way to treat hyphenated usernames preceded by an ampersand, within a post made in Markdown?

                      1. It's not the ampersand.
                      2. Ruario has already explained it's not exactly the Markdown.
                      • The thing stays anyway... :rolleyes:

                        Hmm. Perhaps my brain isn't on top of things today... but I don't get what you're saying. I want to render a username as a profile link in a post, like @joshl, by simply typing the ampersand @ and the username as I've always done here. That works. But if I try that same thing with a username like gwen-dragon, I get @gwen-dragon... which, if you click on the red highlighted portion, takes you to an error message instead of their profile page.

                        Edited to add: OK... now I see part of what you're saying. I misnamed the symbol I use - indeed it's not an "ampersand" (which is & ), but instead a @ symbol. But the problem remains for the @ symbol, whatever its correct name. My question remains: how do I make a hyphenated username to work correctly as a profile link with that @ symbol?

                            Or really? @gwen-dragon ๐Ÿ˜›

                            [@gwen-dragon](/profile/gwen-dragon)
                            

                            Yeah, ok you wouldn't want to do that every time. I agree it seems very broken!

                            P.S. @ is an At symbol.

                                I wrote the HTML code I used in my previous posting.

                                  @ruario That's definitely a mouthful O.O. As you say, it's not something one would wish to do every time.

                                  Using the Bold formatting to highlight a persons user-name could be a quicker temporary option (for now). Although not click-able, it still makes it easier to see who someone is referring to.

                                    Thanks @ruario. Perhaps it'd be simpler just to get 'hyphenated' users to change their usernames...

                                      @blackbird71 Sorry, but my GwenDragon can not be reactivated here, so i had to use Gwen-Dragon ๐Ÿ˜‰

                                      @ruario The autoformatting of the Markdown implementation in forum does not work user freindlich, what a pitty.

                                        It's not a problem for me, especially since I now have @ruario's "secret recipe" for how to enter such a name correctly here. But the forum notification system will probably not notify you if someone simply mentions your name in a forum post (which is what I originally was trying to do back at the beginning of all this)... assuming, of course, that you have notifications turned on. If somebody else simply enters @gwen-dragon to 'flag' you, the broken link becomes unrecognizeable, both by other users seeking your profile and by the system for notification purposes. ๐Ÿ˜‰

                                          Yes, imho the parser code for usernames has a bug. the - is a allowed character in usernames, so the parser should not stop creating the profile link.

                                            How do you get Enter in this thing stupid #%#ยค"&% forum type..

                                            What do you mean?

                                            I type Enter to get a new line, but it won't register it. So I made loads of lines, and it interprets it as one line. That's why I thought this code interpretation for a forum was really annoying. I expressed it quite badly, sorry.

                                            Take a read of this thread, Jetro.
