How do I tag a username?

I've seen it done to me a few times before, and I thought at first you could only do that when you were quoting a reply.  I have an idea for a topic that was inspired by another user, and I'd like to credit them for the idea and let them join the conversation if they're interested.

If the user is in the same thread, you can highlight a portion of their post to make the option "@Mention" appear. Click on that, and you'll be directed to a post with the username tagged for you.

If you'd like to do it manually, the tag is this:

 

(That's an image showing how to input it. All you need do is replace the <insert name here> with the username of choice. For instance; @Never2muchpinkie. You can add bold tags if you wish.)

 

Hope that helps you
