@Alex has been busy with some very cool new features to make the forum more usable and incorporate some social-media-like functionality - note that you can now hover over a user's name when they're mentioned and click directly to their profile.
If you'd like to mention another forum user, simply use the "@" sign and begin to type the desired user's name. You will see a drop-down list of all users that match the characters currently typed (see screenshot below) and you can select them with the arrow keys and the return key or simply click on the user you want to mention. They'll receive an email notification that you mentioned them and can use the email link to jump to the response.
Sweet! Thanks Jason! Very thankful that , not only, for keeping the site up and running but always looking to improve it and quickly fix any issues.
Again, thank you. It's very much appreciated.
