New for commenters: link to the comment you are replying to, by using the @ symbol before that comment author’s name, and following the name with a colon or line break. Example: to link to my most recent previous comment in the thread, type @Tom Gilson;
Or as the developer wrote it:
Inside a comment, write @commenter where commenter is the name of the author you are replying to, followed by a line break, colon, comma and now a dash.
It’s not case-sensitive, but otherwise the name you type must match exactly, including spaces. The @ symbol will appear on the page after you publish, as will the character you use following the name.
More instructions and a few more formatting options are given here.
