I notice that the forum has many useful features, but yet doesn't have a "mention/tag" feature. I would find it extremely useful while DMing in the Play-By-Post section along with just general conversation, so I can directly reply to other users without having to deal with quotes. I explain the concept below for those who don't know what it is. Though most of you probably do.
Now for those who may not know, a mention/tag feature allows you to tag a user's name and put it into your post on a thread, similar to the quoting feature, but that it doesn't require a quote, but rather a user's username. And then when the a post goes up with a user's username that has been mentioned, that it pings that user's notification so they know they've been mentioned/replied to in that particular thread.
I know I asked about tagging people - off memory @Badeye said it was something they would explore (and yeah, force of habit across twitter and other Forums that I auto @ someone when I talk about them).
Yeah, use this all the time in Discord though that is a simpler place than here. ;) Helps since I'm in several servers and one is a huge gaming community playing in several MMOs. Though I find most of the tags there are group level and not for me on the big server, more so on my servers for PbP and other small gaming groups as a place to talk OOG and not mess up a perfectly good IG PbP

Wary the wizard who focuses on homebrew, for he can create nightmares that you wouldn't even dream of
I've had to edit a few of my posts because of that as well.
