Actually the code should be like below. (`.username` included in h2)

```plaintext
.names span.username a::before {content: "@"}
.names span h2.username::before {content: "@"}
.user-main .about .details h2.username::before {content: "@"}

```

@tophee Also I guess in your website you prioritized the username. That’s the problem. Then the code should be like below (not yet verified)

```plaintext
.names span.username a::before {content: "@"}
.names span h1.username a::before {content: "@"}
.user-main .about .details h1.username a::before {content: "@"}

```
