How to use the @ feature for a member that has spaces in their name?

[jetboater4life]

Subject says it all. The member "Jump Right In" has spaces in his name. I tried @Jump Right In, @"Jump Right In", @(Jump Right In), @[Jump Right In], @{Jump Right In}, @Jump_Right_In but nothing worked. Any ideas on how to do it?

It looks like the 1st one worked.

a box will pop up below your typing with a list of user names to select from. If you click on the user whose name you are typing it will auto complete the username and the notification will be made.

You should only need to type the first 3 letters of his name @jetboater4life and it will pop up a dropdown of usernames you can select from (if there are multiple with those first 3 letters....like JET!). If they have 2 letters....then we may want to suggest to those members to remove the space or put a character in there for ease of use....not sure if we have any with only 2 letters then a space though.

sometimes it takes a minute for the dropdown box of user names to come up for me, usually it appears almost instantly and other times it takes almost a minute for it to appear,

@D dock jet and it even works if you the name has a space in it and it is less than 3 characters! Sorry @D dock jet you are the only member with a space in their 1st 3 characters!

Yea, I guess I am not patient enough because it was not showing up with the drop down menu. When I tried it just now it showed up right away, but when I typed my first message above it did not. It seemed like it recognized it sometime after I hit the post reply button.

For me it seems to always pop up when I type the 4th character. I assume that the slow popup is when less than four characters have been typed? For example

Mine is popping up really fast. Here is the problem though. I type really fast and what I think was happening was I was typing Jump Right In so fast that it was just blinking for a split second and I didn't see it. I found that the box disappears after the second space.

Edit: I need to clarify what I said above. I had thought that when you type @Bruce without selecting from the box that it highlighted the name in blue before you hit the Post Reply button. For some reason I was looking for that to happen as I thought I had seen it before. Now it doesn't seem to happen as @Bruce is not highlighted until I hit the button.
