@MarkC ?

Thanks!

Roger pointed out that my italic notifications weren't working

Let's see if it's the same in here

As in, *@Roger*? I wouldn't expect that to work

@MichaelM

Oh, I guess it does work. Never mind

And let's try half italic

*@*MichaelM

@*MichaelM*

Yeah, those both work. I believe it strips out special characters

@!MarkC

Well, maybe it works in chat, but he said my replies didn't work

That didn't notify me.

Your replies don't work here? Or on the main site? They're not the same algorithm

Ah, so you know how it works?

No, I just know they're not the same

Roger said he "strongly suspects" it reads from the source

We were talking about the comments

One moment:

I'm sure it uses unformatted text; the chat probably does too, which is why I was surprised *@MichaelM worked; I figured the * would mess it up

You used a ! up there but it didn't work. How about @#Michael or @$Michael?

Those both worked

Strange. And this? @!Michael

Nope

I guess ! isn't one of the characters that's pulled. This should work though: @M$a$r$k$C

Okay, maybe it's a reserved character or something

@MichaelMrozek Oh, my!

Hey, look who's here
