Suggestion when mentioning someone in a post. - Goods - Oct 3, 2022

This may have been suggested before or may not be possible but, instead of having to "[user i.d]" to mention someone. Would it not be possible to implement something like "@user" while providing a drop down box to make it easier and more accurate to mention someone in a post?

Just a thought.

Just a thought.

Our mention system is username enclosed in @ symbol.

Code
@username@

It doesn't do a dropbox and I don't believe I will be adding it.

It didnt seem right when I typed it this morning lol. Just was a thought I was having. Thought it might be a little bit more user friendly.
