    Since it uses an @ instead of a #, it's not technically a hashtag.

I guess it should technically be called user tagging, but I'll probably always refer to it as hashtagging, just because.

    In principle a good idea. If it could be opted in/out based on a particular part of the board that might be good.

    So it's an 'at' tag then.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    "Hash tags" (or the "mention" thing or whatever they're called) don't seem to be working. I get informed that I'm not logged in when clicking on the tag or the notification. Looks like the session ID isn't getting passed across - if it's a hack, might be something gone awry. (I tested with Firefox with all extensions disabled and it's the same).
