How to tag someone in a post?

PlainName:
Could some kind soul mention me so I can have a first-hand idea of how annoying the notification may be, please.

(That seems to me to be the simplest way, the alternative being to turn into a guru and await new users seeking enlightenment - if it hasn't already happened in 10 years I fear this thread may have crumbled before there is success  :-\ )

@PlainName so you don't feel left out.  :)

Because it allows/encourages a lower standard of discpurse, as I have noted (in no order)

and others have noted from their viewpoint.

I doesn't appear to be a very rational argument to me.

Anyone could easily write @tggzz in their post, the only difference would be the forum software having the ability to automatically create a profile link and notifying you, unless you have it switched off.  It seems irrational to think everyone is going to suddenly start playing up, if such a feature were introduced. In reality, it will make little difference to those who have notifications disabled.

Thank you  :-+

Well, that's  interesting. I get a [1] for my profile, which might be irritating if I preferred to have a clean plate. Not hard to deal with unless there is a mention every time I logged on, though (and that's rather unlikely for everyone except the mods and Dave, I reckon).

There is also a tickbox to enable email notification of mentions, so I presume I could get an email just like I do for PMs and additions to threads I am in.

Edit: the tagger's username seems to be somewhat confused! No, I failed to read to the end. It's correct,  but has missed a mention. That might explain why some users think it is not working.
