How to "mention" someone?

(1/8) > >>

ebastler:
Today I saw, for the first time I believe, my "Profile" button highlighted and indicating a new "mention". And indeed there was a post which mentioned @ebastler, where the username was also an active link to the profile, and the reference had triggered the (unobtrusive) notification to me.

Quoting the post to see the underlying markup showed:


--- Code: ---[member=105127]ebastler[/member]
--- End code ---

How does one create such active "mentions"? Just typing "@username" does not seem to do the trick.

magic:
Dunno, does this work? :-//
@ebastler

ebastler:
It does! What did you do?

magic:
I'm the laziest asshole in the universe, so I simply copied the text you quoted ;D
@ebastler

Hmm, I changed UID to mine and got no notification. Maybe I need to enable something, dunno. Did you get a notification about the above?

You probably did not get notified since you were already looking at this thread. As soon as you have seen the reppective post, the notification disappears.

Yeah, so one can manually create those mentions by looking up the user's ID number and typing out the markup. But that's awkward, there must be a shortcut?
