How do you tag a user in a forum post?

Sometimes it links immediately when posted. Sometimes it links if after posting I refresh my browser. Other times I have to do a quick edit, change nothing, re-save it, and then it links. For fun sometime, I'll annoy Steve and try the just wait method...

Oh hell, now is as good a time as any @SMcNeill

LoL... okay well at least I know I wasn't doing anything wrong! 

I wonder if there's a plugin or tweak for the forums that brings up the user list search in realtime when you hit @ ? Obviously it's a "nice to have" but still, one can dream!
