I've been trying to figure out how to tag people in posts. It's not @Username like it is over on LET, and I haven't found the button for it yet. Anyone want to offer up a suggestion?
How do you tag someone in a post?

Good question. I've been going with the @username so it is clear who I am speaking to. I do this in minimal forums elsewhere too as a matter of habit.
WIth the @ tagging elsewhere, what functionality exists (i.e. what happens when username gets mentioned)? Assuming there is feature for user to see all their @ mentions. Beyond that? Much of anything?

See but that doesn't "ping" people.
So if you just want to mention a user do what MannDude did, but if you want to ping them (assuming they have the notification on) do the following:
MannDude said:
Or something similar which would do this:
And assuming MannDude has his "Quote me" notification on it'll put a notice in his notification box.MannDude said:
I'll agree with you there. It's kind of a pain in the ass, but we haven't found a better/easier alternative at the moment. Also with our huge list of things we have to do this isn't that high on the priority list.

Will it work for those of us using spaces?
