Hello again everybody!
We've got another awesome update for you. Person-tagging has been one of the most requested forum features... And now it's here!
It's pretty simple to initiate. Just type an @
symbol and start typing the name of who you'd like to mention. A dropdown should show up below the textarea with a list of names. Keep typing and the list will continue to update. You can use the arrow keys to move up or down the list and enter or tab to choose the person.
Once you've submitted your post or comment, the person you mentioned will receive an in-app notification and an email letting them know that you mentioned them in the forum.
This will be a great way to quickly grab the attention of teachers and other Treehouse students when you need a helping hand with something. Do use it responsibly though. Remember, you're filling up someone's inbox.

Tommy Morgan
Treehouse Guest TeacherSusan Siow be sure to select the user in the dropdown - the tagging won't work if you just type someone's name out after an @ symbol (like @Susan Siow). I fixed your comment for you though :)
Susan Siow
6,497 Points@Tommy Morgan, I understand but the dropdown is not showing. :(
Tommy Morgan
Treehouse Guest TeacherSusan Siow can you send a screenshot and some info about your browser and operating system to help@teamtreehouse.com? They'll help you figure out what's up... might be a bug that we need to address.

1,437 PointsI didn't work on this at all but YAYYY to Sean Gaffney! Now take me to your finest BBQ joint.
Alan Johnson
7,625 PointsDaniel Lewis I ate at Sean Gaffney's finest BBQ joint and leftovers from Russell St. on the same day. Russell St. is competitive, I have to say.
That was totally off topic, but yeah, it had to be said.
Daniel Lewis
1,437 PointsAlan Johnson: Interesting! Maybe SC BBQ is just terrible like everyone says it is. That's right, I said it. Sean Gaffney thinks thinks beef and turkey and sometimes chicken aren't BBQ. You should tell everyone you're from Texas and leave it at that :D
