|  A new forum feature
From now on, when you "tag" another forum member by their handle using the "@" sign, the forum will automatically send a PM to that person with a notification.
Hopefully this will be helpful for any folks who only log infrequently.
Feedback welcome!

Nice! Could we have this written on the Forum Help page? 
Also, what happens, if I want to link you like @ href="/members/Csabo">Csabo, too?
Uh-oh! I wrote "@Csabo" ...

@RoePipi: this new forum feature will only trigger and do anything if the characters after the @sign uniquely identify a member's handle. Well, from now on it'll do that

@Csabo
@members/Csabo
Just tested it, but I didn't get the link automatically, which option is correct then?
I assume I have to type in the href manually:
@Csabo

@seff: Read the OP a bit more carefully, seff. It is not about autolinking but sending PMs.

| Re: A new forum feature
I just ran two tests, tagging myself - but it worked just fine. All you need to do is at sign (@) followed by a member's name (case sensitive). People were already doing this on the forum, even before the forum did anything
At any rate, let me know if you run into any issues.
