  • This feature doesn't currently exist.
  • We're planning on revamping comments entirely at some point in the future (read: whenever we have the dev time and it becomes a priority), including most likely _threaded_ comments, which will be easier to use than having to type in @mentions. At that point we might implement autocomplete for mentions in any case, though.
  • At the moment, however, it's unlikely that this will be implemented because it's simply not worth the effort improving a system that's going to be entirely overhauled and replaced.

This feature doesn't currently exist.

We're planning on revamping comments entirely at some point in the future (read: whenever we have the dev time and it becomes a priority), including most likely _threaded_ comments, which will be easier to use than having to type in @mentions. At that point we might implement autocomplete for mentions in any case, though.

At the moment, however, it's unlikely that this will be implemented because it's simply not worth the effort improving a system that's going to be entirely overhauled and replaced.
