Usage

Mention users in posts and the username will be displayed as a properly formatted link to that user's account profile. If MyAlerts is installed an alert will be sent to the user who was mentioned.

Basic Usage

To alert another user with a mention, just precede that users name (spelling is important) with an @ symbol.

@Shade

Alternate Syntax

If the username contains a space or other non-word characters, the basic syntax will not work. Simply use double quotes around the username:

@"User name" Hi, @"newguy", and welcome to my forum! :)

Double quotes ", single quotes ' and backticks ` can be used.

Notes

This tag is case insensitive, ignores surrounding punctuation and works well with others.
