Can't use @ in the links in profile was created by Egor Azanov
I'd like to add a link to my blog on medium, but it has @ in the URL. And site tells that it's an incorrect URL.

Hmm, that sucks. I'll look into the code and see if there is something I can do.

I have fixed the validation code to now allow @ in profile URL fields.

Apologies if this has been discussed before, but Tom, what do you think about allowing people to tag other members in posts with corresponding notifications to the tagged person. Twitter and Facebook use this to great effect, and I must say it does increase engagment, at least from me; when I see that someone has tagged me in a post, I almost always check to see what it's about, and I might interact with the post via comment or "like" once I'm there. Conversely, if I don't know someone is discussing me or something I'm interested in, of course I can't participate in the discussion.
On the downside, some may feel they are already overwhelmed by notifications. Easy enough to fix if the notification system is opt-in or opt-out.
(Right now, I wish I could tag Tom Otvos to make sure he sees this post.)

I think tagging is a good idea, but will require me to add some component to the infrastructure as it does not come for free. I can research it, and we'll see. Not as easy as fixing a bug in the URL parsing, though.
