 [h4]Deliverable Mentions[/h4]
 
-Some connections in the mention auto-complete box behave differently than others. If you mention a channel which provides "re-delivery of mentions" it will also send the post to all of that channel's default delivery connections. This is how one posts to "forums". The auto-complete box will provide two entries for these channels, one will mention just the channel. The other will invoke re-delivery and be listed as the channel's "network". 
+The [b]![/b] character designates a deliverable mention to a forum or special channel which allows "re-delivery of mentions". 
 
 [code]
 @Gardening  - mention the Gardening forum
 [/code]

-@Gardening+ - mention the Gardening Forum and also post to the Gardening "network" (e.g. all the forum members; if you have permission to do so)
+!Gardening - mention the Gardening Forum and also post to the Gardening "network" (e.g. send to all the forum members; if you have permission to do so)
 [/code]
 
+Note: In previous releases, forums were delivered by using @forum+ with a plus sign at the end. This mechanism is still used occasionally but is deprecated and !forum is now preferred.

 [h4]Private Mentions[/h4]
 If you wish to restrict a post to a single person or a number of people, you can do this by selecting channels or privacy groups from the privacy tool. You can also just tag them with a privacy tag. A privacy tag is a name preceded by the two characters @! - and in addition to tagging these channels, will also change the privacy permissions of the post to only include them. You can have more than one privacy tag, for instance @!bob and @!linda will send the post only to Bob and Linda. This mechanism over-rides the privacy selector.

 [h4]Bookmarks[/h4]
-Bookmarks indicate a link which can be saved to your bookmark folder. They use the sequence #^ followed by the link. Often these are generated automatically. If the 'bookmarker' addon is installed, this sequence will be converted to a bookmark icon when viewing the post or comment online and clicking the icon will save the bookmark. If the bookmarker addon is not installed, the post 'dropdown menu' contains a link for saving the bookmark or bookmarks.

 [h4]Spaces in Tags and Mentions[/h4]
 Where possible please use the auto-complete window to select tag and mention recipients, because it will generate a coded tag which uniquely identifies one channel. Names are sometimes ambiguous. However, you can "manually" tag a channel by matching the channel name or address.
