Hello everybody!
Today I'd like to share a tutorial about how to mention someone in a post.
Why should I mention someone?
The '@' is to address members in the Community Center, and more importantly, that member will receive a notification as soon as you use it to mention them in a post.
Example: When I'm in a conversation, and I want to respond or ask something specifically to someone, you're more likely to get a response from that user if you mention them. If the user does not check back on that thread or is not following it, it is very likely that the person may miss your response.
How to mention someone?
To mention a person, you only have to type the (@) sign, and a drop-down menu will all names of those involved in that thread will appear. In this drop-down menu, you can then select the person you wish to mention in a post.
Once you've selected the user you want to mention in your post, a notification will be sent to that user. In this way, the user that you've mentioned can return directly to your comment in the thread.
I hope this tutorial helps you because this is an essential feature to communicate with each other 🙂
