Default How To Tag (Mention) Another Member

When you need to get the attention of another member in a thread, you can use our mention (tag) function to alert them.

Step 1
In your reply, simply add the at sign (@), immediately followed by their username, with no space.

You may see alerts at the top of the forum when someone mentions or quotes you, or you can view them on your profile.

Step 4
If you prefer not to be alerted to tags and quotes, you can set your preferences by clicking on the User CP and scrolling down to user tagging settings.

Added Note
Another option for tagging is to highlight the exact username of the member you want to tag/mention and then click on the icon that looks like a speaker. (You need to be in advanced mode for this.)
