If I want to @ someone from my phone I have to click on their name, which takes me to their member page so I can actually highlight and copy their name, then I have to go back, type in the @ symbol, and paste their name.

Would be really cool if we could have an @ button next to a members name so we can, in one click, form a reply with the user already @ ed.

Something like this...

Could also have a "quote with @" button that would quote the post and automatically @ the user who wrote the post.

I think this feature would get used a ton.

Great idea. @ someone is a huge pita on phones and tablets

Agreed. There's been a few times I typed up a reply, then tried to copy the users name to @ them and it took me to their member page and deleted what I had typed up. Pissed me off so bad.

It's easy. You just quote them and c+p from there.

What about a notification if someone quotes you?
That'd be great alongside the @ button

Take this advice from someone who has recieved multiple warnings for abusing the @ feature... making this easy to use may also make it vulnerable to exploitation.

@deathhates @wilson
Got an opinion?

On the other hand, it might be a good feature...

That would be great... if we can opt out.

@OverScoped

It's way easier on a computer than it is on a phone. It's the phone that's a pita. No ctrl+p on a phone.

Even if you quote, you have to highlight, but phones suck at trying to interpret names so it highlights the bold code too... So you have to try to move to cursor to only select the name, which is a huge pita if you have big fingers.

This is what happens if I try to highlight your name to copy/paste.

I'm on a Samsung Galaxy AO1
The shitty one they give you for free.

When I click to highlight your name it does it automatically.. I thought all the phones did that.
