Hiya, I've been away from here for about a year and I was wondering... now whenever people post something in the forums, they also post a link to the person they were talking to so they are notified. How do you do that? Last time I was here the only way to post a link was: thank you!!

Simple, just put the @ sign before their username.

It's not called linking, it's called pinging a user.

You do it by adding the "at" symbol in front of their username, so if I want to contact you about my post, I would write:

Ooh, okay thanks for your help. :)
