Auto-suggest users for tagging (Post Count: 6)

per RBHeadge PE:

"The site can auto-suggest a user when someone is trying to tag them in a post @chebysheviipepmp"

It can but instead of just typing @name ... you have to click the @person button on the ribbon. (It's an @ symbol and a little person icon... fifth from the right)
I agree it would be nice for it to auto suggest while typing.

Yep. I imagine that it'd be useful to be able to use the popup in the "quick reply" also. I'm looking to see if a plugin is already available, if not I think we'll have to create one ourselves.

I was not aware that this was an option in the not-"quick reply" interface. I see it now. 


ChebyshevII PE PMP it would be useful to have in the quick reply, but its not a necessity anymore. Feel free to deprioritize or drop this request.

Quick tip: if you hold ALT and then click on a name, it will appear in the quick reply for you to use.

I did adjust the quick reply area so you can have all the functions without clicking "reply" and being taken to a new window. You should be able to select the user from the user button like you would for the separate reply window. Actually getting the "@" symbol to do something will require a little more effort.
