@Mention as a quoting replacement
I have added a small extension to allow mentioning someone rather than having to quote a full post of text or having to edit down a quoted text into a sensible manner.
Basically you can now just 'mention' someone by using the '@' character and typing the persons name,
this will show a list of possible matches:-
Selecting a name will change the text to red
and the person will be notified of the mention:-
This should make it easier to keep a conversion without quoting the masses of images etc.
Let me know if it works / or doesn't work etc.

Re: @Mention as a quoting replacement
I take it that it will only apply to people who use mobiles, as I've never been notified when mention has been used.
