How to TAG other members within your new posts

You can automatically TAG other members in your posts, by simply preceding their username with an symbol.(i.e. Shift-2) Once your post is saved, the symbol will disappear and the username you referenced will just appear as a link.

So if I am typing in a new* post and happen to mention Rocketmantn in the text, nothing spectacular happens.

However, when I type in " Rocketmantn" (w/o any spaces or quotes) a drop down menu will appear if he has been active within the last six months and I can click on his username (as seen below) and continue composing my post.

​

Note: If the referenced user has not been active within the last six months, you can still TAG them in a post if you know their exact username (i.e. scorpio), it's just that the drop down menu will not appear to confirm the user's identity.​

Also whenever any other member is TAG'd like this within a new post, they will receive a notice about it in their Alerts tab (i.e. Located at the top-right of our pages.) complete with a LINK to your new post mentioning them!

*-The Username Tagging and Alert feature only works in new posts. While you can re-Edit any of your previous posts and still Tag someone, they will not receive an Alert about such Tags in your previous posts.
