All you have to do is:
Place the ‘@‘ symbol before the person you are mentioning, then repeat the name with correct capitalisation in the right places. They will get a notification (if on desktop) and will come to wherever you mentioned them (if they want to).
Example: @Blank McBlank Blank McBlank
When you post the comment, it should look more or less like this:
@Blank McBlank Blank McBlank
I have had a lot of difficulties, so I simplified it for anybody who wants to know how to mention a user. If you wanted to know, replace the ‘Blank McBlank’ with the person who you’re mentioning.
If you read the comments, that is Jason Gomez teaching me how to mention others. If parts of the conversation are missing, it’s probably in the other note which we were switching the mentioning from (solution to Jason’s note to this note) Then Percy Jackson got involved. If you want to get confused, by all means read it. If you don’t, don’t.

@Jason Gomez mention[4821179:Jason Gomez]
Log in to reply
Yup I have been mentioned, but it’s because I participated in this convo
Log in to reply
Now try putting @ mention[4821179:Jason Gomez] somewhere else without the space between @ and the mention
Log in to reply
Where?

Maybe in some problem you have done and can write a solution for

Okay, I think I have mentioning people down. Although it took me like twenty tries.

I’ll make it more clear then.

Okay, make it something like An example of how to Hard mention someone

So I’ve changed the title from ‘Temporary Note’ and my plead for help to ‘How to Mention Users on Brilliant’ - a simple guide to mentioning.

@Jason Gomez mention[4821179:Jason Gomez] did I mention you yet?
Log in to reply
Yeah you have mentioned me here

Lol celebrate all you want here, no one other than me is gonna get those 78 notifs so no prob
Log in to reply
Dude, now I see where the 78 came from and why you blamed Sarah for them lmao
Log in to reply
Lol
Log in to reply
I should probably delete that so she doesn't see, but I really wanna see her reaction so I'll not delete lol
Log in to reply
Haha, very funny. If you must know, it wasn’t just me who gave Jason Gomez so many notifications. Although I’d like to think that I was responsible for all of those. Thanks to me, Jason might have made a new record: Most comments read in two minutes. Also Percy Jackson, now you will get notifications too, one for how many times I comment/reply on this note and for other comments. Who’s got 78 notifications now?
Log in to reply
Oof, I think you don’t know how unsubscribe works, Percy knows that well sadly
Log in to reply
I forgot about that.
Log in to reply
U can give him over hundred notifs over here now, because he hasn’t unsubscribed yet, I may not be able of help to you because I have to prepare for an exam tomorrow
Log in to reply
@Sarah Alam, @Jason Gomez C'mon guys, I ain't that stupid, I unsubscribed already before leaving. Only the mentions made it to my notifications, so like 10-11 notifs :)
Log in to reply
Hey Percy I ain’t that stupid, but I know that we haven’t mentioned you 10-11 times lol, u didn’t unsubscribe ik( just came to check how much Sarah had progressed, note to Sarah, this guy you see here has spammed a lot previously [even to Brilliant Mathematics] so you don’t need to feel bad spamming him, and no worries if you spam me, don’t spam today as he already knows, surprises are always better)
Log in to reply
I did, in fact, unsubscribe from this note. I got notifications from the 'Book Choices' dc since I have made a solution and commented there. There were 2 messages from Nico also. btw I just noticed, if Frank and Hazel were here, then we'd be like a Praetors club lol

Log in to reply
It’s such a tragedy you become a praetor(Note to Sarah, he has improved his standards and started rickrolling too)
Log in to reply
lol (that is literally all I can think of saying to you rn)
Log in to reply
It worked, didn’t it?
Log in to reply
And btw the tragedy of you being praetor, is because, you are greek
Log in to reply
You were only a praetor for, like a week. Then you were kind of replaced by Jason.
Log in to reply
Oh another Percy Jackson reader
Log in to reply
it's obvious by her profile pic dude, and also, it is not tragic being a greek praetor. It is tragic to be replaced by a greek so soon by your legion. It is tragic to know your fellow praetor replaced you with the greek too. It is tragic to know that the greek never forgot about annabeth, but you forgot reyna so easily. I guess that's one point for me Jase :)

And I add one more nickname to me never ending list of nicknames , and also I haven’t seen the movies so I have no clue how they look, only read the books
Log in to reply
Here's a pro tip : Don't watch the movies, actually, try to get Hera to remove your memory of PJO movies ever existing. The movies suck more than a black hole doesn't even cover a tenth of it...yep, they're that bad...

Log in to reply
Never seen one :), I just realised I did read the fourth book of Trials Of Apollo and completely forgot it
Log in to reply
lol
Log in to reply
Reyna isn’t in the movies. And I refuse to acknowledge those horrible movies. Watched one, didn’t want to ruin my life by watching the other. Take my advice. DON’T WATCH THEM.
Log in to reply
They also put descriptions of the characters in the books (Annabeth obviously has blond hair, not that the movies bothered to get that right) so you could piece together what they look like. Personally, I don’t really like the official illustrations of Percy Jackson characters, I like viria’s from tumblr more.
Log in to reply
Oh, I love Viria's PJO art!!! The official art just straight out sucks, but viria's art is amazing. It is so good that they made it official on the Percy Jackson Fandom website lol
Log in to reply
Now they have common sense. Also did you know that in a few years, there will be a Percy Jackson live action series on Disney Plus?
Log in to reply
Yeah, I know, I saw Rick's website post. There is a Kane Chronicles Netflix series/movie coming out too Hope they're better thatn the movies...
Log in to reply
The movies are so bad, I could direct a better version. If the series turns out horrible like the movies, do you want to audition for Percy Jackson?
Log in to reply
That was a joke, I couldn’t direct a film.
Log in to reply
lolI think an animation series for the PJO tv series would be better, honestly.
Log in to reply
And if Viria drew them. That would make it better.
Log in to reply
Yep :)
Log in to reply
I wasn't replaced, I gave up my position for him. That's humility, not replacement :)

Sorry, but I’ve read a lot of other books and right now I’ve started to mix up different universes. I should have known. Apologies if you were offended.

So right now, I’m in lockdown and meant to be studying, not on Brilliant.
Log in to reply
Hmm.. ok, same here
Log in to reply
I did manage to finish two online lessons. Only two. I should have done like, five. I’m the type of person who never studies but excels in tests and assessments. Too bad I can’t be bothered to do homework. Curse whoever invented it. ‘If home is for working, then school should be for sleeping’ ~ I can’t remember who quoted this

Don’t worry most of the people you meet here will mostly be like that(me included, with history,Hindi excluded, I almost never “studied” for school)

You live in India, right? I’m part Indian and my parents speak Hindi.

Yeah

You are a Bengali, so some part of you must be from India

What you did
Log in to reply
Right, sorry. I spoiled the ‘surprise’ for everyone.
Log in to reply
Ok,what are you worried about(i worry sometimes about knowing I will die the moment before I do)
Log in to reply
I’m worried that I’m going to fail life based on one little mistake. I could fall down the stairs and break my leg and fall on someone else and kill them and go to prison for the rest of my life for manslaughter (or womanslaughter) I’ll then die surrounded by prisoners in jail.
Log in to reply
Uhmm, first there is something like juvenile jail, second you don’t go into life imprisonment for killing someone by mistake (it’s only a name, in India life imprisonment last for 13 years, and so there are double life imprisonments also given), third if you break your leg, it will heal back, little weaker but within two years, there will be no difference at all
Log in to reply
And if I fall onto TWO people?! And I also die myself and some homicidal maniac hides my body and I don’t get a funeral and my last words were ‘The clock is one hour fast’? My after-life would be ruined.
Log in to reply
Just learn practical probability, the probability you die is zero, calculate yourself and see
Log in to reply
I assume you are not 23 years old and still in “school”
Log in to reply
I am still in school and I have yet to talk to brilliant about changing my age.
Log in to reply
You don’t need to change your age, it’s not necessary

You have nothing to worry about in otherwords, if it comes you will have to face it,( I can’t face mine, because after that …)

Why thank you Jason, @Percy Jackson mention[10420647:Percy Jackson] will be notified twice as much. Sadly, you probably will too.

Just try out the stuff here

Only I can see them, and Percy anyways unsubscribed so it’s a better place to practice what you are trying
