Hi @Firepup650 thanks for your message.

Can you confirm that the ping works when you use the correct case?

Thanks

I can confirm that pings work when cased correctly, they just don’t work when incorrectly cased, which is inconsistent behavior with replit comments at the minimum.

Can I test this with you? I’ll ping you a DM with a Repl.

That is fine, go ahead.

I am not able to reproduce the issue. I tried pinging a multiplayer user in a thread, using all caps, and it worked fine. Can you send me a loom.com video of how you’re encountering the issue so I can get a better idea of the issue?

It works fine in threads (for some reason), but it does not work in the Chat.
