"@Mention" member name

[sovereignsteve]

On the old version, there was the obvious "@mention" link (I think that's what it was called) in the member details area on the left of the post.

I can't see an obvious way to "mention" someone in the new software. I know it's possible 'cos I see folks doing it!

I may look into adding a link back in the future, though I was hesitant to make it too easy to mention users incase members abused the mention system as email notification is default and someone might get sick of emails if they were constantly being mentioned all the time 

To mention a user type the @ symbol and then start typing their name, a popup box will appear with the members in a list, the more letters you type the shorter the list will become until there is an exact match. You can click on any member after typing a few letters, or continue to type the full members name until there is only one member left to choose and use the tab let to select.

Basiclaly just start typing the users name and click the name when you see it. Or use the tab key if it's easier. 

Hope that helps @sovereignsteve :)
