you need to wrap the username in [ mention ] & [ /mention ] tags to get this:

A frontpage article will be forth coming soon. I just installed it live last night and had to go to bed...
The format is @<username>;

[Gatt]

@ZeroHour:

Ah I see - you need the semi colon at the end too... Anyway it can be done without that?

@localzuk:

[Gatt]

Hmm - @ZeroHour: both you, @localzuk and myself have been mentioned at least twice, but the count is still at 1?

[tmcd35]

@Gatt: are you using semi-colons or colons?? does that make a difference??

[ZeroHour]

@Gatt: test

This is due to you tagging yourself I think.

[tmcd35]

Interesting - it changed the semi-colon to a colon when it posted the message (I swear blind I typed a semi!)

@Gatt: are you using semi-colons or colons?? does that make a difference??

Yep, and the [ mention ] tags

@Gatt: test

This is due to you tagging yourself I think.

I thought this - except it increased to 1 after I did my test at the top, but not when @localzuk: did it.. interstingly it went to 3 after you did it!

would be nice if it autotagged a username! though this would prob slow things down too much..
