BP Update 6.5.1: @Mentions Now Enabled on BiggerPockets

In an effort to keep BiggerPockets at the forefront of technology and to improve the way you communicate through our site, we realized that we needed to adopt what has now become a standard on the major social networks.

We Just Enabled @Mentions on the Forums!

Just as you would on Twitter, Facebook or Google+, when you want to mention one of your colleagues or a person who has already posted in a forum thread, you can now enter @ followed by their name to mention them.

For a complete tutorial, see:
@Mentions Come to BiggerPockets

Give it a try below by replying and mentioning me by typing @jo and see what happens.

Joshua Dorkin, Thanks for the nifty feature.

Now, can anyone help me with my VCR? It keeps blinking 12:00...

    That's funny, my son tells me the same thing...there is no fix for my problem.

    And yes, we actually do have a working vcr/cd combo. It's hooked up to a tv (tube, not flat) that had rabbit ears until they went digital on the signal. Now it's only good for the vcr/cd player...

    Since this feature is either lacking or turned off in some browser instances, a suggestion: When a post has its "Quote" link used, maybe somehow the person whose post is being quoted can somehow get the "mention" notification via the server (rather than from the disabled browsers). Seems like this should be doable, and would get post authors to notice discussion of their post content.

    @joshua dorkin test.

    I don't seem to get the drop down while using the iPad. Or is this user error?

    @Bret L. - It won't work on the iPad unless you're using our iPhone app.

    Just checking to see if this works on my moody iPad. @Branden Turner. iPad is having bad day. :(. No names appear after second character. Thank goodness my spell check is trustworthy.:)

    Any update on when this feature will be fixed? I never seem to be able to get it to work. Usually on my Samsung galaxy s7 edge with chrome browser if that helps...
