@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 in this thread if you want to give it a go! 
Okay, so lets test this out. I'm going get the attention of @Alessandra1992 @Jake @kristin @kenny66 @BatGuano @ivana @Maude so they can test it & tell me how it goes!
Of course, all other members can have a go in here too 🙂
