I confess that I don't use them... although I do log into facebook daily to play a bit. Some games are really addictive!

1. Click the Attachment 58502 button in your GUI
2. Type an @ followed by their username (as you would in Twitter)
3. Use the Tag User(s) field above the Reply To Thread button

I'm not sure this is working how it is supposed to be. I try this every now and then but just get an '@' only where @name should be.

@bo5ton ; try adding a semicolon after the username. I think that's a change since this was first implemented.

Do you have to do all 3 steps?

[ralph.m]

Type @ + username + ;

[bo5ton]

Ok, I'll try...
@;

edit: bahah ok that didn't work... i suck at this.

[bo5ton]

@ralph.m
Well that worked... Only by typing in your member number manually though...

[ScallioXTX]

Just type it like this: @ralph.m; and it will come out @ralph.m ;

[ralph.m]

You actually had to type a number? That's not much use. So if you type "@", directly followed by my username, directly followed by a semicolon, it doesn't work for you?

EDIT: As @ScallioXTX ; said. ^

[bo5ton]

Ok, let's try again...
Thanks @ralph.m ; and @ScallioXTX ;

Ok it works. The first post @HAWK ; did confused me and I was basically doing a double positive.

[ScallioXTX]

Yup, I got that mention alright

[ralph.m]

Thanks ralph.m and ScallioXTX

Don't mention it.

[molona]

Don't mention it.

The other way is to use [MENTION]username[/MENTION], which has the same effect but without that horrible trailing semi-colon and without any question over whether it's going to work properly or not!

Ah yes, hand coding is always better. Thanks, Stevie.

EDIT: that too...
