I am relatively new to the philosophy forum. I was asked to indicate who I was responding to and I thought I did that. I commented immediately after Ciceronianus so I thought that would show on the thread.
There are several ways to mention someone: click the leftward pointing arrow under a post; highlight a portion you wish to quote and hit the quote button ( which will pop up); or push the @ button and type the persons name.
Any of these methods will work, and they will be alerted to your reply in their mentions section.

Hi George, that was me who gave that advice and as it happens also produced the How To article that I linked to. Was that not clear? Couldnt you find it? (Here it is again, just in case.) In the context in which I posted that, there had been a fairly large number of contributors and a lively debate, and it was difficult to see who the you was that you were referring to. No big deal, just helps to keep things in order.
(Oh, and theres some more Help articles in the Help section which you can find at the very bottom of the left-hand menu bar. And in case I didnt say before, welcome to The Philosophy Forum.)
