Default How to "mention"

How do you mention a user on the site? since the new garagetalk app came out the @username no longer mentions them.

Wanted to mention some admins, a user just joined named Jamie X and is posting spam

I use the garage talk all mostly, completely forgot the report button on the right side of the post lol

Also still would like to know how to mention users on the new app, it was a handy feature

There is a mention feature icon displayed when you click "Edit", then "Go Advanced"....but I notice it does not appear to function correctly.

Just tried this and it didn't work. Either with no spaces around username or no spaces inside the brackets.
