Use it and that person will see a notification that will direct them to the post.
In typical online forum style, the process is a teensy wonky but it works great.
When writing a post,
- Type the full (Correct!) username of the person
- select the text of the username
- then click that "mention" tab in the upper left.

The bb code "mention" will appear, just like when you make text bold etc.
When you submit the post, the username will appear in red and the user you @'ed will receive a notification.
Easy peasy.
Also, a little trick, if you type the @ symbol and start typing the name a dropdown list will appear that can be helpful. Try it you'll see what I mean.
