Autocomplete for usernames not working on Forum Editor

[jordesign]

Previously there was an autocomplete for usernames that were already involved in an existing thread (triggered by typing @). For the last few days this seems to have ceased worked

It would be nice to have this back. It's a very useful tool for moderators.

Adding @ would list all users who interacted with the topic

+1, I really miss this feature. Added a screenshot for reference.

I noticed this was gone too. I used it a lot and helps to ensure correct spelling of usernames so the correct people are notified of a reply. Having it back would be great, if possible.

This is definitely a useful missing feature!

I think the plugin which calls this functionality needs updating - it appears like the editor textarea has changed (not sure if this was intentional).

+1 on this as well. I was trying to use it this morning and thought the form was broken.
