The "@" here really only indicates in a shorthand form who a post is mostly aimed at. If the person making the post wants the target of the message to get a notification, they should use "Reply with quote". Most Members probably leave their Settings at the default value of getting notifications when they are quoted.

Something that might work also but I have never tried:
1) Tap the Quote Text icon in the post editor. You should get this: [Code] 2) Edit that with =member, like this: [Code] 3) It should appear in the post like this:

Now my question for ghost is, did you get a notification for this post?

EDIT: Darnit! I just realized I am derailing a movie thread again!
EDIT EDIT: I have moved this post out of a movie thread, and into this thread created by E9A7F3bD.
