My suggestion is simple:

Would be nice if you could @someone inside of a thread, so people could in a section where they were tagged. Would make forums more dynamic and interactive.

It's a trend everywhere.

@njaguar @kevin make it happen!

This function is available already.

But with ^ instead of @

Quote

Added ^USERNAME notification for posting. When used, it will send the user a notification they've been mentioned/quoted in that topic. If a username has any characters besides alphanumeric, you must quote it like so: ^"USER NAME" (Sep 26 2019)
Using ^USERNAME now shows as "mentioned" instead of "quoted" to the user being notified. (Sep 27 2019)
Supported characters without having to quote a user in a ^ mention are: a-z A-Z 0-9 _ - ~ Everything else must be quoted, including spaces or periods. (Sep 27 2019)

i would also prefer @ instead of ^ because its easier to understand when you see / read it,
and its use is known from other services (like whatsapp). im sometimes using ^ here to notify one
or more users and some people ask me why im using that symbol at all. i guess if it was an @ instead,
people would know why~

but yeah as stated in post #2, there is already such a function and you should change your suggestion to "Replace ^ with @ to tag user" or something like that
if thats important to you

Already exists with ^
@ Isn't used because it's used a ton in trading forums for non notification purposes.
