How do you refer to a member here?

Actually, the more I think about this...that WAS the notification I was hoping you'd get.  In essence you were notified that someone had mentioned you in a thread whereas you wouldn't have been otherwise notified without the tag.

I wasn't really expecting some special notification really, just some sort of a head's up that someone had used a member's name in a reply (without a formal "reply" to that person).

I think the notification ArMaP received was simply because he was already subscribed, having replied prior to your test post.

The default is to automatically subscribe to any thread we reply in. We can choose to not subscribe before posting or at a later date.

This test needs to be done with someone who hasn't taken part in this topic. So, let's try with TSK:
