The @ character is the first character in the reply. This means that the person you are replying to will see this message AND everyone who is a common follower to both you and the person you are replying to. All of your followers will not see this message, only your followers that also follow the person you are replying to. If you want to reply and have all your followers see the message you need to insert any other character as the first character, before the @ symbol. Example start with . @michaelsb. Make sure you have a space between the first character and the @ symbol so the person you are replying to will see this message in the Mentions list.<\/p>\n<p>Do you have a Online Basics question you want to ask, leave a comment below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I think sometimes when you have been online and deeply involved with the many social networks that exist you can forget that not everyone has the same knowledge and understanding as you do.
