    Have you ever wanted to pull someone's attention to your post or to a thread, but didn't know how to get them to look at it? With a new PriusChat tagging feature, it's actually quite simple. All you have to do is type "@" and then the username that you want to include in your post. The user that you tag will receive a notification Alert and come check out why you tagged them.

    So, for an example, let's say I want moderator efusco (Evan) to know about this thread. All I have to do is type "@"efusco" (without the "s) and that will magically turn into a hyperlink to Evan's member card and alert him that he's been tagged.

    Let's try it: Hey efusco - come check out this thread.

    You'll also notice that when you start typing a name, usernames & their avatars will start to pop-up below. That way if you can't remember how TonyPSchaefer spells his last name, you can narrow things down a bit.

    I think this will be a great feature for the community to use, and I look forward to your feedback on it.

    Why the hell would I want to tag TonyPSchaefer? Is there a way to keep him out of a thread?
