How to get the "@someones name" when replying in forums
When posters are replying directly to one another there is an "@johnsmith" that precedes the response.
How do you do this? Do you click somewhere?

#1 - this feature does not work with all browsers, so maybe you are using a browser that isn't supporting this feature.
#2 - when you make a mistake typing after the @, or forget to type the @ by itself to start (it has to have a blank space after the @), it doesn't seem to work. Solution is to type a space after the @ and then back up to before the space and then type the user's name correctly. You may be able to just backspace to the last correct letter, but I'm just not sure if that will always work or not.
It's a nice feature to have - I just wish it worked on all browser types.
