On a side note, how do I highlight your names in the response using the "@" symbol???

In order to be sure that other folks are made aware of your messages, use the @ symbol to tag folks like @Scott Speer.

If you want to tag someone in a post, simply use the @ symbol and then begin typing in their profile name.

@Gay Acosta to "mention someone you have to type the @ symbol followed by the first 3 letters of their name then at the bottom of the box their (and sometimes other) name will appear.

Don't forget to make keywords up so you know when someone is talking about your areas of interest.When you want to tag someone in a post use the @ symbol and start to write their name.

Start by typeing the "@" symbol then the individuals name.

FYI, if you type the "@" symbol then begin typing the poster's name that you want to mention (@Joel Comino, for instance), Bigger pockets will pull up the person in the thread you want to reply to and you can click on their name so BP will notify them that you mentioned them.
