How do I 'tag' or 'reference' someone in a message, so they see it?

What I know is simply with e.g. @kevinmarois, in other words: @<username>

To add to what 0x01AA has said, find their homepage (click on the username in any message) and look at the top left: you'll see the "at code" under the username. For most people, it's an "@" followed by the username, but not everyone: any spaces are replaced with hyphens, and usernames can change without affecting at codes.

Sadly on the phone browser CP doesn’t have too many formatting options. I wonder what would happen if you would hand type html tags

Completely worthless on every level, IMHO. This is a hobby project for someone who has given up on life and all it has to offer.

Absolutely: someone with too much time on his hands.

Hey! That's me!

I really think it is not _that_ worthless.
It shows the possibility of translating things from one space into another.
E.g.: For you/me the keyword "if" is most probably important. But why that "if" can not be transformed to a color, or a specific sound (e.g. 500Hz) or what else.
It is a big potential, to transform requests for people who are 'working' in another way (because of a handycap whatever) like the 'usual' people do 
Note: I was working in the field to develope audio editing software for blind people.

The probability that it was _not_ a color blind person who came up with this is very high.
Only my thinkings...

Which was the best technical support you experienced?
I have to mention the Texas Instrument's one.

In the old days: Sonicwall, original company. If they couldn't talk you through it, they would remote connect and do set up or troubleshooting. Failed power supply: over nighted a new one. No charge.
Recent: Cisco, and it was a Bot. Replacing failed switch.
Codeproject: resisted pointing out that I am an idiot because I haven't a clue on CCC's.

Surprisingly, I have to give a nod to Microsoft: my MB died, so I replaced it, and Win10 insisted that I need a new licence. MS Tech support dialed in, and worked under nasty conditions to fix it. The dial in picked up only my main monitor, but the taskbar was on the left hand one - and because Windows thought it was a pirate installation it wouldn't let us move it. So he was working nearly blind to write and execute scripts to find the original licence key while being unable to see 2/3rds of the screen ...
Took him 1/2hr, but he did it and was unfailingly polite and helpful as he did.

Iyama - my screen blew because of an electrical fault at home.
They sent me a replacement screen for free.
Ever since then I have only bought Iiyama screens, as I value the old fashioned principle of loyalty.

Intel - not necessarily for CPUs or SOCs. Back in the early 90's when they sold a ISA based Fax board and I was an IT drone I had a great experience with their tech support.
??? - A few years later I had a great customer service / tech support experience with some RAID system we had. For the life of me I can't remember the brand.

This is not related to software companies or computer manufactures
BUT it might be nice to know
In 2012 I had a plumber install a new sink and thus a new faucet
No instruction booklet or warranty information
Where I live it is wam bam job done Now Pay Me
Any way I need a new aerator and cap screw for said faucet
Found the name Moen on the faucet
Both Plumbing stores where I live said no such part we will sell you a new faucet NO Thanks
I happen to be in Phoenix and stopped at a plumbing parts store
Here was the recommendation Just call Moen all parts are shipped free just show proof of purchase
What Proof and are you kidding me
You take a picture of your product and Moen on the website it recognizes your faucet
It did not work for my faucet BUT the online person in North Olmstead, Ohio
said send me the photo she ID the faucet ask when I purchased it "I said no proof of purchase"
That is OK what part do you need ?
I am happy to say that Moen has a lifetime guarantee with FREE replacement and shipping
While not Technical Support still Just Great Product Support

I just had the same situation with a Pfister faucet.
The pull down sprayer sprung a leak in the hose after only 2 years of use (and honestly not swinging from it or anything  ).
I couldn't remember the name of manufacturer but found the old book in a cabinet -- now it had been 5 years since I bought the faucet. Uh oh.
I looked them up so I could order the part & pay for it.
Their web site was really nice because you just report your problem with pics and they help.
They ended up sending me the replacement hose and parts for free. Amazing Pfister!!
Is plumbing the last bastion of good support? Maybe.

They may not be the last bastion but they are as a group
way smarter than a lot of other companies with the concept
of support. Do the Math !
They make 100 parts and stock them at one or three corporate location
They pay the shipping and entice the plumbers with a worth while Warranty
It does not pay them to make parts for every HVAC or major plumbing supply business
that might be 2 parts in well over 1000 location plus they still need to ship the part.
And getting the plumbing supply to carry a minimum on hand quantity. It does not happen.
We can order that or sell you a new Faucet
Plus most pluming manufactures Moen, Kohler and Pfister to name a few make products that last
