My "@" (mention) function seems to be broke?

I've noticed over the last few weeks (months?) that anytime someone mentions me in a post, using the "@" symbol, there doesn't seem to be any reaction from the forum software, in that, there are no "mention" tags auto-generated.

Here's a post with a recent example @'ing several people, however you'll notice that I'm the only one with out a link being autogenerated.

Not, really, that this is a huge deal, but I was finally interested in it enough to ask a question about it. I've seen it across multiple platforms and browsers (windows/Firefox, iPad/Firefox). Plus it's the forum doing this, not me, as far as I can tell.

Would there be any reason why my account would not have the "@" (mention) function working?

Check your settings:

pistol-forum.com/usertag.php?do=profile&action=options

In my "User Tagging - General Settings" all check-boxes are unchecked. In my "Privacy Settings", "Everyone" is selected in all drop-down-lists. I suppose that I have not changed these settings and that these are the defaults.

That's worth a look, thanks. I only have three options checked:

There's also the fact I haven't (to my knowledge) changed anything there lately (or maybe, if ever) in my profile...so kinda weird.

@RJ how is this

Versus @RJ

Or
@RJ

I tried it three different ways with spaces after and with returns after and with caps versus no caps.

All seemed to work.

Can I play, too?

@RJ

Edit - I can’t trigger it either.

Hey, @RJ

Nope, doesn't work for me, either.

How about the "mention" tag:

@RJ

Well, that worked, but not the "@".

Hey @LittleLebowski maybe you have an idea?

Nor a "groups" or "recent visitors"

Should be adjustable in Settings -> Profile Privacy. But meanwhile I doubt that it's relevant
