If you're replying to a specific person in a thread, tag them by placing "@" before their username. Please use this feature sparingly, as users receive a notification each time they're mentioned.

 

Edit your reply

After posting a reply, you can edit it at any time.

To edit a reply, click the ":" (more options) icon next to your message, then select Edit message from the drop-down menu.
