Thanks for this one, I was more looking for a way to trigger/notify the person, so the person can see the post. Like @user_name something like that
Hello,
I wanna know how to link/tag someone to a Biostars post.
This will help if we know someone that could answer the question or to ask a question on a specific tool someone developped.

You can copy and paste their biostars profile URL. Like this one for you: Bastien Hervé (https://www.biostars.org/u/ 36456/) You can look them up in community. Be careful though. Many people use an alias so you may end up tagging the wrong person.
I think that should work too to notify them.
If the user is active on slack you can also notify them there...
If you add a comment with the user profile link on any post it should let them know.
Tagging: Bastien Hervé
It works because i'm already in the discussion... If I tag someone else in a comment he/she will never know
Example :
I want to link Emily_Ensembl to this post Fasta file and GTF file for STAR alignment to notify Emily to take a look (if possible of course) at this post.
