Hey Everyone,
Lately I've seen more and more people trying to use this feature, for instance @Brigby, but I just wanted to take the time to send out a Public Service Announcement regarding this.
Unfortunately the @Mentions feature is not something we currently have available on our forum. It is definitely something we are looking to incorporate in the future, but as of right now, using the @ symbol to try and tag or notify a user will not work as we do not have that capability yet.
Thank you for understanding!

Yeah, its happened a bit over at MTG:PQ forums, I am an offender of it, I figured I might as well throw the "@" in there just in case it does something, can't hurt right? but its nice to know for sure now.0 -
I'm guilty of doing exactly this, to Brigby in fact, just yesterday. In my defence (ha!) it wasn't in expectation that it would trigger any kind of notification but to differentiate between different types of message within the same post.0

That was my first reaction followed shortly by, what @ feature? Clearly this message wasn't for me.0 -
I've never seen this occur on the mpq forum. Usually when I see a username, it's without the @, or else they just say OP.0
