Test re Hash Tags

[Mr Peepers]

Same message New thread.

Tony, I'm sending you this message and my text is blue.


But if I tag your name #plax ([Users must be registered and logged in to view attached photos or hyperlinks]) and change the color of your name on the font here in the message to black and then send it would it make a difference, or would the hashtag work?

Odd, I didn't get a notification in my TAG's on my profile when I sent the hashtag I thought it was because I was using blue text even thought I changed the coloring to black on your name when I entered the message.

But I went to the top of the thread and entered your name under user tags I got a notification then. It's odd the way it works and doesn't sometimes.

Your closing bbcode tags are positioned just prior to the # tag URL link. And then that's followed by a set of opening color and bold text tags (e.g., [B]). I bet that occurred inadvertently when you changed the text color to black and then back to blue. It resulted in the desired effect, but it's not a very easy thing for members to achieve ;)

I hear ya.

I had to click on the color black over your name and the hashtag...... but it didn't activate when I posted the reply it turned everything to blue text.

I quickly clicked on edit and then switched the source mode so I could see the codes of the message, I changed the hashtag and your name to black and removed the bold text code and saved the message hoping it worked.

I know the members wouldn't be able to do these types of details as its not easy but I was curious to know if it would work.

And that's what you did. But as you've suggested, our members shouldn't have to go into edit mode, much less into source edit mode, in order to make a # tag activate :th_shakehead:
