Mentioning Content and Users in Posts

The Mentions feature enables you to easily reference other community members or community posts in the body of a message.

 

Using Mentions

When creating a post, you can use the "@" symbol to trigger the feature which will display suggestions in a drop-down based on the activity on the thread.  As you type a member's username or the title of a community post, it will display relevant suggestions with user mentions appearing at the top of the search pop-up, followed by matching content, separated by conversation style.
