Including other members' Avatars and screen names in post

[BandCollector]

Recently I posted my smoked cheese procedure (Cheese. . .Cheese. . . Oh Cheese!) and received several likes from several members. At the time I thanked them for the likes I found a thread that explained how to include their avatar and screen name in my post but for the life of me I can't remember how it was done and can't find the thread.

Can anyone help me with this again?

Thanks John

For those who are interested. . .All you have to do is type @ followed by the member's screen name.

When their avatar and screen name pops up as you are typing, just click on their name and voila!

Do not put a space between the @ and the name. Also, if you are listing multiple names do not put any spaces between them.
