[SUGGESTION] answer answers

Question

Hey,
this is my second suggestion and i noticed on my first suggestion that you can't respond to answers directly so it looks like a new answer to the question and i can imagine it gets confusing to read.

Would be nice to have to possibility to respond to answers directly and discuss like on stackoverflow.

Answer 1

Although you can't directly reply to people, you can @ their username to mention them in your post. This sort of replaces the need for direct replies while still making sure that the person you're replying to will know that you're answering them.

Answer 2

@Faisal ah great thanks for the info c;

Answer 3

to use the mention feature
type @ then you will be presented with a list of user names
select the username, that's it

rules:
1. you can mention people you are following or the people following you

2. Apart from that, you can also mention people on same thread
eg. you don't follow me and neither do i follow you but we're on same thread so i can mention you ChillerDragon
(This doesn't mean i can mention you on other threads )

3. just typing @user_name won't send notification to the user, you need to select the user_name from the provided list.

eg. @ChillerDragon won't be considered as mention
