The "@" button at the bottom of every post


Recommended Posts

The new button image.png at the bottom of posts is the Mention button.

Have you wanted to reply to a post without quoting the post but with some indication of whose post you're replying to?  Well that's what the Mention button is for.  When you click it, a reply form will open which already contains a mention of the Username of the person you're replying to.  If the user who made the post you're replying to has the Username "John Doe", the mention will look like this image.png at the beginning of the first line of your reply.  BTW, that blue button mention is also a link to his Profile.

Thanks to JTT for installing this enhancement.

So you can do it that way, but also when posting, if you type an (a) [at] sign and start typing a username, a list comes up so you can "tag" people.   Looks like it's a bit similar to how you can tag someone on Facebook or Twitter.  So I can tag @RodEnuf or @canuck45 or whoever else I want. ;)
