How do I embed a member's name within a post without embedding their whole post? Saw it one time and forgot.

You mean like this @The Bassman ?

 

You just put this symbol @ in front of the person's user name.

@wdp I always wondered how to do it too. Thanks!

May I ask a silly question? why not just type their name in the post....

Much appreciated.

@Smokinal I don't think it sends the person a notification if you just put the user name without the @ symbol. This way, you know the person will see it or at least get a notification next time they log on.

Ok...alright...I see the use for it. I'm just old school I guess.

 

edit: I see a red colored square around the username in everyone else's post but my own. Is that the same for you folks?

@Smokinal once you type the at symbol select the name from the drop box. You may have to type in a few letters of the name.

Like that?

 

edit: I'm dangerous now...

 

I guess you can teach an old dog

[Gundog]

yup

Yup. I remember the first time I used the @ whoever here. All of a sudden their screen name looked cool, almost like a magic trick, lol.
