I’ve been unable to make this work for a year.

Didn’t work and finally posted here.

Now it is working for first time :
I'm totally fucking with you bro. Just wanted to see how you would react

@mentions don't work with special characters in standard format, so you have to be a little creative. There are two options:

Lazy way: Try to find a match using keywords (e.g. Alpine, MSS, Alex, etc) -- this isn't guaranteed to work all the time.

Proven way: Grab the user id and matching username format (case sensitive) and complete the mention code manually.

Example:

Code:
@<Alex@Alpine>(contact:83193) 
@<Ryan@IND>(contact:35504)

Note: Replace carrot characters with square brakets [ ]
As for searching with usernames containing special characters, this works just fine without any trickery.
It did work in search just now.

First time in year

It did not work in search 3 minutes prior to creating this thread.
