why does the forums not allow @s?

_kethan_110511_

for example, if i do @_kethan_110511_, it doesn't show the blue link to go to my profile. does it do this on all 2.0 UI pages on Scratch?

“_kethan_110511_ is a dedicated and hardworking individual with a passion for coding. They are known for their creativity, attention to detail, and strong work ethic. Outside of work, they enjoy watching YouTube Shorts and spending time with friends and family.”

The @ restriction is only on the forums. User profiles, comments, projects are not affected.

3,461: When you see this, copy and paste at the top of your sig if you want to spread the number. If not, then that's fine.

A BIG WAVE OF NOTIFICATIONS AHHHHHH-

It wasn't implemented for the forums

This is not a bug, this is how the forums work. If you want to make it look like an @, try this code.

 [url=https://scratch.mit.edu/users/USERNAME]@USERNAME[/url]

BigNate469

You can also copy and paste the username (excluding the @ symbol) and paste it at the end of https://scratch.mit.edu/users/
For example, https://scratch.mit.edu/users/griffpatch will bring you to @griffpatch's profile

Probably to prevent naming and shaming and other things

This is my forum signature! On a forum post, it is okay for Scratchers to advertise in their forum signature. The signature is the stuff that shows up below the horizontal line on the post. It will show up on every post I make. (Credits to ZaChary) My signature thankfully hasn't been eaten by an evil kumquat yet, so I hope it remains that way. My 100th post!! Be sure to follow after watching my animations!!
Please note that I may sometimes give out incorrect information.
Ever wondered why your project wasn't showing up in the search bar or on trending? Here is an explanation why: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3p1zLeGoXLQ

It might be because the forums are built using DjangoBB, which I don't believe supports mentions.
