If you want to draw another member's attention to a post, you can tag them using the @ key. The task is made easy here: at the point in your post where you want to put the tag, click on the Insert User Link button - see below:
When you do that, a dialogue box opens, as below:
Type the first letters of the member's name and you'll get a dropdown list to click on:
Click on the relevant member and the job's done! Continue to type your post...

That won't work, because I changed my display name from my username; the two aren't the same. Everyone can change their display name to what they want, but the username always stays the same. |

Another way, you can hold Alt and click on the person's name, FFS. |

You must have quoted me pdq. As soon as my post appeared I changed it. However I'm sure I have done that at least once with ajm iirc. Hence I was surprised when it didn't work with you. I know why now. |

Edit: I've worked it out, see following post.  |

After further investigation, I've discovered how using the Alt + click works now, cleoj : the method ONLY works when using the Quick Reply box - if you are typing in the Quick Reply box and want to tag someone, it is at the point where you want to add the tag that you can use Alt + clicking the member's Display Name, which adds the tag into your Quick Reply post. Otherwise, using the Insert User Link icon  is the quickest route. |

Ah, I only use quick reply, FFS.  |
