How to remove @ from showing in names in Confluence?

[bgoodr]

When I type an at sign "@" followed by the first few letters of a users name, and select it, it inserts the name. When I publish the page, however, it still shows the "@" in front. I don't want that as it is a bit jarring.

I searched the docs and the user forums but nothing comes up. Maybe "@" is getting filtered out in my searches.

You could put this in you global stylesheet or space stylesheet. That will get rid of the @ symbol.

.user-mention:before {content: "" !important;}

I'll take a look at doing that when I am next able.

Thanks!

I verified this as working by editing a space stylesheet as indicated by Styling Confluence with CSS/Getting Started.

Hi @bgoodr,

There is no way to do so in the administration or something like that. This topic was already mentioned here: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/How-to-disable-the-when-mentioning-someone/qaq-p/275830

Best,

Nic
