Initiate Tagging

Tagging is initiated by @ character continued with peoples name. All available people you can tag will be shown in the dropdown to choose from. Select who you want to tag, and continue writing the message.

Much the same as most Social Media platforms, when you're replying, the tag (which is the @ symbol) links the person that you tagged. The link is connected to their account profile. This originated with Twitter, but is the same for Facebook, etc.

But to try answer your question: I would tag you by doing this: @Mike Rohrbach

Note: Your question and my answer here, is in the Discussion Forum ... "Mike Rohrbach replied to the topic 'Tagging People' in the forum" ...
so tagging doesn't work quite the same here in the Forum area. The tagging feature --as described in the original description-- is primarily intended for the Community feed, i.e. posting under the upper right menu item labeled as Community: incubator.org/community )
