Your sense of irony is broken.

Your irony was too cleverly disguised as the usual sort of grousing we get in new-feature threads.

Hey Henry: check this thread out!

[Edit - excellent - the @ is gone now. Can't do anything about the colon, though].

Not from forum runner however.

How do you know a person's id? Say for example I wanted to notify Leif. What coding do I use?

You just wrap their name (in this case Leif) in MENTION tags.

EX:

Hey {MENTION}Leif{/MENTION} check this out!

Where these { } are instead these [ ]

Hey Leif: check this out

Thanks weem! Can't give you xp though, gotta spread it around first *doh*

No problem

While we're on the topic (of MENTIONS) I think Russ mentioned it (no pun intended), but I thought I would point it out visually - there is a MENTION button in the editor you can use as well (it just wraps a name in mention tags for you).......

As people have said, Leif's ID is Leif. Either wrap his name in {mention} tags, or click the button on the editor that weem showed with his big read arrow above and it will do it for you.

So either type {mention}Leif{/mention}* or just click the button and type Leif.

*Obviously for the sake of messageboard tags, replace { with [ and } with ].
