Hi there! :D

The italics gets stuck sometimes.  If it does that, just go in and edit your post.

BTW, you can ping someone (it will generate an alert) with @username, just as you asked.  I haven't figured out how to make it work for users with a space in their name (like @John Tsoukalos up there!), but it'll work with names without spaces -- like you, @owlsomniac... see?

I think you just have to do an underscore like "John_Tsoukalos".  Just a guess though. Let me try it...  @John_Tsoukalos

Nope didn't work.
