How do you tag a user in a forum post?

Like this
@madscijr

Except it didn't work

That's weird, cuz on my side it did work - I got a private message saying I was mentioned, and my username is a hyperlink in your message, with the source

Code: (Select All)

/[url=https://qb64phoenix.com/forum/member.php?action=profile&uid=10/]@madscijr/[/url/]

So you type at symbol plus username...
Hey @SMcNeill are you seeing this?
Because in the editor it looks like it didn't work, just like Spriggsy said.

And after I save my post, it still isn't changing to a hyperlink. 
But in the code box, it changed the source for your example to a hyperlink - and when I drop down to Edit Source view in the editor, it has my user name inside a url tag.
So how do you escape the forum tags so you can post them in a Code box? 

But more importantly, I think that gives the answer, put @username inside a url tag...
Hey [url=@SMcNeill][/url], now are you seeing this?
