Are mentions automatically detected?

New user. Trying to see if @manascii mentions get automatically detected. Or, do I have to enter the link manually?

        But this one will, @manascii, which I have done so you can see it in action. Even though I replied to myself you should still see this comment in your notifications.

          Oh yeah! I see the notification. Thanks! I'm sure this had been said before, but I really like this ~test sub. Great way for new users to get oriented.

            Yeah, I'm a huge fan of ~test too... especially since it allows me to make sure my markdown is correct before submitting stuff to the main groups so I don't look like a durn fool for messing it...
