Mention people with @ in the forum
Write @ followed by a username in a forum post to mention that person. They get a notification in the bell.

Changes
- When you type @, people who posted in the topic are suggested. Type 3 or more characters to also search everyone else by username. Pick with ↑↓ and insert with Enter or Tab.
- @usernames in posts are shown in color. Hover over one to see the display name.
- The person you mention gets a notification that takes them to the post. If the same reply would also send them a reply notification, they only get the mention.
- You can mention up to 10 people per post. Mentions in a topic you've muted don't notify you.
- So that others can mention you, you now set a username before starting a topic or replying if you haven't set one yet (anything you've written stays).
