    I have noticed in new profile posts that sometimes user names are included in the post, kinda like naming who the post is intended for.

    I would like to do this as well but I can't seem to figure out to do this.

    Please advise. TY

    Example @me -> @Him
    Text message.

    @bob40B My sweet :) When you type the commercial @ sign followed by a member's name it notifies them in the Alerts column that someone has mentioned them. Now you know. (hopefully).

    I try @mistress-b and it didn't work. Also I'm interested in the @me arrow @Him that appears in current status. Is there an example of syntax on this website?

    A member name of only one word (i.e. bob40B) is easy to use with the commercial @ sign but how does one determine the syntax for member name of more than one word (i.e. Mistress B)?

    @Mistress B. Oh. Ok. I assumed that a space delimited/indicated the end of the name. Guess my IT experience is becoming somewhat dated. :(

    Thank you for your kindness and patience. :)
