When you need to get the attention of another member in a thread, you can use our mention (tag) function to alert them.

Step 1
In your reply, simply add the at sign (@), immediately followed by their username, with no space.



Step 2
Once you have clicked to submit the post, it will highlight the users name.



Step 3
You may see alerts at the top of the forum when someone mentions you, or you can view mentions on your profile.



Added Notes:

Another option to mention someone (using the advanced mode) is to simply highlight the username (after you type it in your message) and then click the icon that looks like a speaker. This is especially helpful when a username includes a space in it.

To adjust tag or quote notification preferences, click on User CP near the upper right hand corner of the community, then scroll down until you see "User Tagging". Just below there you will see Settings in the left side navigation. There are several options there.
