Hello, Can you send / Open a Topic by Clicking on an @ ? I know you can send a message.

@‘s are mentions for getting specific users (or a group) attention. to share a topic, simply click the time stamp that is top right corner of a post to bring up the copy/ share modal, or the link icon below the post. then you can send the link to whoever you like. To share a whole topic, click the share button at the topic footer: [IMG_0224] [IMG_0221] click the blue copy square and it will turn green to show it’s been copied [IMG_0222|690x210 80%] note that Meta has this theme component installed, so the link at the bottom here is an immediate copy to clipboard, but default without the component will pop up the share modal.

Yes , sorry. Should have said. In my Banner I have an @ & I would like it to open a Topic from there :~/ Is that Poss ?

Thank-You :smiley: I just used that one in that Link / Topic you suggested.

[image] Sid: Can you send / Open a Topic Is it only me confused by this question and answer? How is opening the Composer via a link the solution to “opening a Topic”? (which suggests the Topic already exists) And what is meant by “@ send” ing something? This is not clear to me at all. Am I missing some ‘lingo’? What is an example of @ sending on another platform? Or could the question be phrased better?

[image] Robert: Perhaps the question could be phrased better? I agree. I’m glad you managed to find a solution @SirSid, but if you could better articulate your issue I think it would be much more useful to anyone else who was searching for a similar solution in the future. :+1:

Yeah, thinking about it. Maybe , Can you , ‘Open a New Topic by Clicking on an @’ . Would that make more sense ?

I’m afraid it would not. Have you got a screenshot of what you ultimately did to solve your issue? This may provide some context.

What is next to the ‘@’. @ what? Why do you need an @ instead of a button?

Just wondering, if this is possible ? @ send Topic
