Okay, this question just screams NOOB, but, well, I’ve only been on this board since yesterday, so, like, I AM!! But, I’ll tell ya, I can’t find anywhere on this board how to get the @Flutherer to directly reference a comment. I’m flummoxed!!!

JUST COPY PASTE THE NAME AND PUT @ IN FRONT OF IT
@DragonFace stop yelling.
@PapaLeo type the @ symbol, a dropdown list should appear of everyone who has commented on the question thus far. The asker will not appear in this list until he or she comments on the question themselves.
welcome to fluther!
@PapaLeo: Remember not to “qoute. buy. print,” whatever that means.
Another welcome from me. too.
The @feature works but is a bit buggy. Usually you need to have typed something, even temporarily, then when you type the @ sign, a dropdown list should appear in the lower left corner. Selecting a name will create a link to that user’s last comment. The feature still works even if you do not see the dropdown menu, so long as the username is typed 100% correctly, it is case sensitive.
As well, @PapaLeo, your name is not linked with my @ usage because you have not made a comment. But when you do (as you are now), afterwords, my next comment to you would be linked.
The dropdown list won’t happen if you’re fluthering on an iPhone. I have lots of fun typing out @eponymoushipster. It’s my favoritest.
Welcome to Fluther, n00b ;)
