Tagging people
Often, when trying to tag people who are not involved in a thread -- for example, when trying to tag Liz or Amanda, I get "no matches." Sometimes if I keep trying, it will work, but a few minutes ago I was trying to tag both Amanda and Liz and was only able to tag Amanda. The system basically disavowed Liz's existence (bring her back!).
Is there a trick to this? I just begin typing the "@" symbol and the system searches and if the person is part of the thread, there are no issues -- but when the person is not part of the thread, many times all I get is "no matches."
I've noticed it works more consistently when I remember to type them slower - but I have noticed this.
What I find that works for me is typing the @, then Liz, then waiting a second for it to NOT find her, then backing up and deleting the i and z, then waiting a second, then typing the i, then z, and it shows up, usually after adding the i back in.
So @Liz, then @L, then @Li, then @Liz if it doesn't show up by the time you add the i back in. Doing it this way I've not had any issues, though it did take a while to figure it out at first.
GabeU, my method is very similar, and though time consuming, it usually works. But yesterday nothing worked. Today it's working again (as long as i go very slowly and go back and forth with the letters,until it goes "Oh! You meant Liz!! But of course she's here!").
It's certainly quite the "eccentric" system. :)

Maybe it was just working by the time I came on. I was able to tag Liz a few times yesterday.
