@mention - new forum feature

Hi everyone,

We have a new feature that I think you would all find helpful!

It's called the @mention feature.

What is it?

It's a way to notify a specific member. Let's say for example, you are reading a member's post and you think "Oh I think I remember NikNik had experienced a similar situation, maybe she will have some good advice for this person" OR you're writing a new post that you think would be particularly relevant to a specific member, you can get their attention (they will get an email notification).

How do I use it?

It's similar functionality to twitter and facebook when you mention/tag someone. All you need to do is type the "@" symbol, followed by the first 3 letters of the member's username & a bunch of suggested member's usernames will come up, with their profile pictures. You just click on the one you're looking for. Test it here if you would like to 🙂

So I'm going to get the attention of @Harry @Brodie @Used2Be @PeppiPatty @CherryBomb so they can test it out 🙂

Let me know how it goes!

Nik
