@fluther

Posted January 7th, 2009 by andrew

As a little side project to distract myself while I’m beefing up the IM server, I decided to implement a feature we’ve been thinking about for a long time: institutionalizing the @user convention.

Now, while you’re writing your response, you’ll see a pop-up list of users within the discussion when you start typing ‘@’, and all new @user links will be linkified.

Back to the real work, now! Whuppaaa!

    Nice feature! But I think it might have broken some other functionality, namely using the up and down arrows while composing the message regularly. See question# 31653 asked this morning.
