Hey @lusty temple!

Please edit your message to use a code block

Add a py after the three backticks.

```py
print('Hello, world!')
```

This will result in the following:

print('Hello, world!')```

i want it show a mention like @lusty temple but instead it just does <@

[crystal lava]

I'd expect <@> if it's not working correctly, but generally best-practice for discord.py (last I knew of it) was to use member.display_name

Otherwise mentions are structured as f"<@{member.user_id}>"

[lusty temple]

i was already using display_name but id rather use the mentions

i actually just fixed it

[crystal lava]

Yeah I don't think you're getting a reliable response when you use get_member (could be a permissions issue that you have to tweak a setting in the discord dev page for), so I'd lean towards the formatting I mentioned above for the mention, but it won't work as embed title

[lusty temple]

this wasnt the fix i tried something else to do with the member mentions and it actually worked

[crystal lava]

I mean, I wasn't debugging your code so wasn't expecting it to fix it lol. But glad you found something that did work for you.

[lusty temple]

thanks also i do appreciate you for trying

this is what worked for me

name = f"<@{entry['user_id']}>"

[crystal lava]

Yeah, looks about the same as what I ended up suggesting anyways. See if you can print out the member.display_name in the same embed as well. I think your bot needs some permissions it doesn't currently have configured either.
