How to tag and mention other users in threads - Step by step - Cagey - Apr 24, 2018

As most of you know me as the lounge whore that I am, I have my moments to be high quality - I would like to give you this step by step guide on how to tag and mention other users in other threads/posts. Most of you are aware of the new "Alerts" feature, you will need to have enabled for this to work. Hopefully, this will get improved and it won't be as much work but be grateful I figured out how to do it!
S/O to Squalo for confirming this works!

What you will need:
  • An account on hackforums.net
  • Common Sense
  • Friends to tag/mention
  • "Alerts" feature enabled

Congratulations, if you meet the requirements for this method you may now proceed to the actual method! I'm going to try to simplify it as much as I can so even a brand new user can figure it out.  

First step:

Find a thread or post you would like to mention your friend in (Meme, Serious, Or for no reason at all.)

Second Step:

Click the quote button as shown in the image below
Quote Button

You should get a text like this

Code
[quote][/quote]
and now all you have to do is go to the first quote and add ="Username"
For example:
Code
[quote="Xerotic"]
[/quote]


Third & Final Step:


Make it fancy example:

Code
Aye [quote="Xerotic"]
[/quote] Xerotic you need to check out this new mentioning guide It's insane!!!!!

How it'll actually look:

Aye
Xerotic you need to check out this new mentioning guide It's insane!!!!!


Feel free to try it out and try mentioning someone on this thread and show them how it works and maybe a easier way will come up to mentioning and tagging

I get to annoy users in a whole new way, awesome. 🤭

Seriously though, this should go in a hand book or guide...

Clearly, you missed the requirement of having friends since you tagged yourself.
