@benb

Looks like we have this feature now!

 

[benb]

@HovR - excellent, I made something happen on the site.
Autocomplete for it would be cool now!

Thanks @Shaun

@User9609 That might be because you can't spell you own name.

 

[potsy]

Testing @potsy

[Norm]

Well, that worked from my side, @Potsy

Oh, good, so @ username actually is a thing on this site! I wasn't sure what the convention was and I felt like such a Twitter import, so that's good to know : )

Interesting - especially since I've never installed such a feature and it's not part of the standard install.

Must be one of the other add-ons that is allowing this to happen, so just be aware that future updates may break it.

Hee hee "It's a feature, not a bug!"

I wonder if it works with people who have spaces in their user names. Maybe @Firoz Taverbi could let us know.

 

[Firoz Taverbi]

@norm I haven't got anything in my alerts so far!

 

[Norm]

Hmm... maybe some code is required to replace the space. I think @Firoz%20Taverbi is the usual format.
