How do you tag someone in a thread?

I've noticed in the Christmas present swap thread that people are being tagged so they know others want their gifts.
Tried @ before the name a la Facebook but that didn't seem to work.

Oh do you mean ' EricNorthmanIsMyMaker I'd like your smellies'?

If so you put a * around each end of the name.

There is no tagging on MN. It's just bolding the name so it stands out, as lougle just said.

EricNorthmanIsMyMaker · 27/12/2013 19:48

That's exactly what I meant lougle. Thanks

Hello, we are actually working on a tagging feature as we speak, so you soon (hopefully) will be able to use @username and that person will get a message if you so wish (and if they so wish).

@NotYoda

Take a look at this thread www.mumsnet.com/Talk/site_stuff/2807531-New-feature-mentions. The new tagging system has been running since December. You can opt out of it though!

Thanks!
