    That works! But that appears to be a different set of vBulletin code (I assume it's vBulletin code?) as in that the above is a "member" tag with a direct link to "me", not a "mention" tag, which as far as I know is what appears when you "@" a member, like so: @RoyGBiv

    In my last post, the forum did not auto-generate the mention-tag for me. So I figured out how to do it manually. Might be too much of a bother, but just in case anyone cares:

    The way the mention -tag appears to identify the person mentioned is by a member number. This number is part of the URL for that persons profile page. For example, my page is https://pistol-forum.com/member.php?2619-That-Guy and therefore my number seems to be 2619. So to mention me without auto-generating the tag you would type:

    Code:
    [ mention =2619]That Guy[/mention]
    Without the spaces inside the brackets. (And I expect you could type anything you wanted between the tags, if you wanted to.)

    Or at least this seemed like it worked, when I tried it.
