Mentions

Mentions are a way to get a specific user’s attention. Instead of private messaging a user and directing them to a thread or post, you can mention the person’s username in your post.

To mention a user:

  • Type the @ key in the post.
    58
  • Without adding a space, type the first letters of the person’s username.
    59
  • The forum will display active topic participants in an auto-complete list.
    60
  • Another option is to type the @ key and enter the full username without using auto-completion.
    61

The user receives a notification that someone mentioned them, and they are directed to the post.
Abusing the mention option to harass another user is against the MongoDB Community code of conduct.
