My suggested method of this is that using the characters

@OP

when parsed

returns @TheActualOP



or even OP ?

Other ideas:

When you type @

You should start with a menu of the last 3-5 participants, including the OP.


currently with xenforo, you need to type 3 letters to bring up the menu (@ABC)

When typing in the editor @ ?
I think you need a separate addon for this!

What's the proper name for @ ing another user ?

Tagging a user by typing @username is usually usually called a mentioning (on other platforms) and the code that brings up the menu is called UserMentioner:

XF.UserMentioner = XF.Element.newHandler({
    options: {},

    handler: null,

    init: function()
    {
        this.handler = new XF.AutoCompleter(this.$target, { url: XF.getAutoCompleteUrl() });
    }
});
