    I often see links to other members in the text of various posts... how does one add such a link when creating or answering a post?

    To add a link , actually called a tag , you just use the @ symbol in front of the user name. When you start typing the user name a small drop box will appear with names with the letters you are typing. This helps you choose the right person. Here is an example Moe . This as well as using the quote function will give the user a notification , if they have that function turned on in there settings.

        In this version of vBulletin it *should* be as easy as using the @ symbol followed by the forum user name to tag someone--but I've found that after the first tag the page is unresponsive to further tags.

        Example: To tag me, you should only have to type howson A drop down box appears to pick from a list if you stop typing after the first three characters in the username. Example: @how The list will look like the picture below--(click on the username desired from list list):

Name:	Tag like this.JPG
Views:	242
Size:	6.4 KB
ID:	41215

        Another way of tagging individuals is to use this format: {USER="10"}howson{/USER} Replace the { with [ and } with ] to get it to actually work.

        How do you know the user's number? Click on their forum name in any post. There will be a number in front of their username in the URL line (see example below):



        Here's a "cheat sheet" for the technical forum moderators:

        Technical
        TucsonJim=4
        Cate&Rob=5
        Country Campers=6
        howson=10

        GDRV4Life
        barefootchelle=13
        Andi=697
