I know the "at" symbol is used to ping, but I thought it only pings when there's a username behind. This is the second time I've just had the "at" symbol floating alone, by itself, and it takes it upon itself to ping someone a second time when I've already pinged them at the top of the post.

The first time it happened, I was copying and pasting a ticket, how it usually has the date "AT" time in the ticket. The second time it happened I was pinging someone AND quoting a staff member where they pinged someone else in the middle of their comment, so I separated the username from the at symbol, and it pinged the person who I was talking to again.

I don't know if this makes any sense so I'll recreate what happened, using myself and my friend.

Pasting a ticket: I ping myself Then I paste the ticket info 3/26 @ 9:52

Talking to someone else and quoting a separated ping:

EDIT: see it happened? with the ticket part I can't say "date AT time" without a username flying behind the at symbol, and the quoting part, I separated the 's ping, and behind the at symbol it put my own name again. wtf?

I am getting two different issues with pinging.

1. When I ping people who have participated in my dancing thread, not all of them get the ping.

2. Once I post a message, the page shows I pinged one person twice, when I didn't, meaning it CHANGES the person I originally intended to ping, to someone else.

Examples of both situations:

i assumed that much, but when I ping 10 people, then 10th doesn't get the ping?

Then I placed 9 pings, and the 9th didn't get the ping :/

Yeah :/ I think I will resort to profile commenting when I am done with my masquerade giveaway... I am not sure I am too trusting of pings at the moment LOL
