What is a "Mention"?

[jdrakeh]

It's some kind of status, a new(er) one, but I'm unsure of exactly what it is. When I logged in today, I had one "new mention" and, when I clicked on it, it took me to my profile. . . then I was totally lost. What exactly is a "mention" and where should I be looking for that in my profile?

[MENTION=13892]jdrakeh[/MENTION] there is a mentions tab in your profile between the 'thread tags' tab and the 'Experience points' tab.

You can create one by putting an at symbol before a posters alias in your post.

Ah ha! Thanks!
