XF 1.3 @ tagging users

[Mr Lucky]

Can someone please tell me where I found out how to do this?

I cannot find it in the manual, yet I noticed somewhere it should be possible to type @ followed by the user's name and they will get an alert.

EDIT: Sorry, I meant to say email alert. They get the forum alert.

However this is not happening on my forum, what am I doing wrong? is there an option somewhere?

(I have searched the xenforo manual for tagging and there seems to be nothing there)

It's a permission.
Ensure you have it set for the user group(s), as well as the maximum number of members who can be tagged.

It only triggers an in forum alert.

Thanks for the superfast reply, you beat my edit! Yes, it is working for forum alerts, I meant to say email alerts

If you want email alerts for tags then you need to use this add-on.

One more thing re: tagging users, there are no alerts if the tag is after the message is posted, as an edit.

Is that expected?
