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."

Wow.  Your response times are nice and low.

And my speed right now (12:23AM)...  1.1Mbps.  Atrocious for that time of night.  SMH.  Still able to browse without issue, though, and, interestingly enough, I just watched a Youtube video in 1080p with no buffering.  The Last Jedi trailer.  

You're also a bit North of me, most likely with a much lower takeoff angle.

The first thing I noticed when I got this was the much lower lag times. Never really saw it higher than 400 or so, and I was getting in the 600s on the HT1100 on a good day.

My response time just now was 308ms.  That's pretty good for satellite. I never checked the latency with Gen 4, but I perceived it to be much faster than Gen 5. That was the first thing I noticed after the upgrade, that pages seemed to load up much more slowly.  They still do.

 

My speed last night was under 500 kbps.  I can watch YouTube with that but it's a bit grainy. 

Dunno. Part of this could also be that I use the LA server. If there was one in San Diego I'd use that too. Whatever's closest to the gateway.

I followed your advice and have been using the LA server now for a few days.  🙂

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.
