Copy, paste names into 'Mentions' in the forum

[April]

If I enter "@" then type the username all is good I get a box up

If I copy the name and paste it then add the @ in front I don't?

If the name and spelling are complex I always copy and paste it so I'll have to put the @ in first then try pasting it.

If you type the @ then a letter, it should bring up a scrollable selection list. As you add letters, the list will shrink. Typing @ap reduces selection of all the a 's to a selection of 4 Userids

@April You can manually do this [mention]April[/mention] and just use the BBcode directly, and it will activate the mention notification like you see on the front of this post.

TBH, I tend to manually enter most BBcode.....probably, I would guess, around 80% of the time. I've got so used to doing it this way, I have to actually stop & think on the odd occasions when I DO want to use one of the buttons.....
