Yes @Kat! @Giraffe has even helpfully provided a handy icon in the toolbar for doing this. It has made @KidVermicious his favoritest poster ever!

I wonder what happens if you "mention" text that's not actually a username.

So does that mean I'm popular now?

You like me! You really really like me!

And now I have five notifications. Yeah, those of you who get quoted regularly just got a heap of annoyance.

OK, I'm turning off the quote alerts. We can leave the mention tags on if people want to summon others to a thread, but the quoting just seems annoying.

If you want to bold a name in mention tags the bold tags go outside of the mention tags.
