Celeste did a neat thing where she "tagged" me in a thread so I would would know to look for her response....that's really cool...how do I do it? I looked in the little tool icon (right by the "like" button) but I saw nothing about tagging. ---->I also just learned I could drag and drop smileys....this new board is growing on me! I probably should have read the how-to forum a long time ago....but I didn't see anything about tagging in there.

Hi @hurricanej. To tag someone, put the @ symbol in front of their name. Complete details are located here 3/4's of the way down the page under tagging. As it mentions, hover your mouse over their name if you don't know their user name: takeonestepatatime.proboards.com/thread/21257/v5-features-available(Yes, in your case & mine, I needed to hover over your name to get it right!)

sidestep Hey sidestep, tell me if this tag works (I hope you have notifications on). Hopefully I did it right as it's a pretty cool function. If I didn't do it right, well, I learned 15 other new things from that link of yours, which was also neat. It's a win/win!

totoro, if you hover over her name, you'll see she originally signed up as hurricanej. Put the @ in front & you've got @hurricanej tagged.

totoro, You need to use the person's original user's name. There is an icon in the toolbar, in the reply, that has a @ with a little man. HIt reply and then look up there. ^ If you click on that, a little box will pop-up where you can type in the user's current name. It will give you a dropdown list of people with similar names, you just click on the name you want. It will put the tagged user's name in whereever your curser was in the post. Try it.

Yes, PaperGrace, if you hit the alt key and click on their name in the miniprofile next to their post, the tag will with insert into the Quick Reply area. You can do roughly the same thing in the Reply area by alt clicking their name in the thread summary.
