Not to single him out or anything, but just wondering if I can just do @Peter to address a reply to him, or if I have to copy and paste every time.

    @Péter As easy as it is! No copy!

    @poly - your keyboard is obviously faulty. My universal-French-keyboard-that-everyone-else-uses can type Péter Török without a problem.

  • @poly, hi :-) one receives notification of all comments to his/her posts/answers, rogardless of whom these were addressed to.

OK I thought this worked due to the AEther / aether thing but that must have been an anomaly.

So instead we now pass all @names to be matched through this function

rowname = HtmlUtilities.URLFriendly(rowname);

Which is documented here

Non US-ASCII characters dropped from full (profile) URL

That should really fix this.

  • ironically this fix might break the aether/aether thing. :)

    @Kip, apparently it does - see @Arjan's comment above :-)

  • As an aside: so to reply to Jörg one could use Jorg, but not Joerg.

I have a strong suspicion that @Peter doesn't work.

At least I don't remember having been notified of any comment from you the day you posted this.

And my suspicion is now proven by the comments to the main post. Thanks @Gnoupi and @polygene :-)

  • only one way to be sure, post a comment on the question, and someone will put "@peter" comment after.

  • how about now? I just deployed meta only with the below fix.

  • @Jeff, I just got the notification of @Gnoupi's new comment to the main post, so I can verify that the fix is working.
