How does the @mention work on This Forum?

[ZenSwift]

I've noticed when someone Types @ZenSwift, I never actually get any direct notification of any sort or anything.

For All I experience its just "ZenSwift" with a blue highlight.

I am wondering if any of you guys experience this.

go to notifications, then notification settings, and then check the slider for "Ping when someone mentions me"

@Phil King Ah I see now, I have to scroll DOWNNNN

It’s also fun to use that feature to discover unique usernames. Like what about the@cookiemonster

Ahh okay, didn't know that - thanks! You've also got to press save when you're done, I almost missed that.
