Now you can reply to more than one person in a single comment. 
Hat tip to blushink for the nudge... and to our programmer, for making it happen!
@username replies will send out an email, so please don't abuse this. If it's abused, then we'll have to turn off the feature until we can program in some protections...
Thanks!

Awesome! This will cut down on having to post several times to answer different users!

very cool! thanks! just curious though, how would you "abuse" it? i'd figure the old way was more "abusing" it because one person would respond like 5 responses to 5 different people.

@tequiero21: As in, if someone used mass @replies to send alerts to a bunch of people in order to troll or spam...

ahhh. geez, the things people come up with, right? i didn't even think of that. lol.

@tequiero21: Well to be fair, nobody has done this. It's just part of my job to anticipate stuff like this.

I don't see how this works exactly. Where should I see this option?

@looch: It's the same reply link as before! But now you can more easily @reply to multiple people in a single post.
@mrbee: like this!

Is there a secret trick to use this feature properly? 'Cause I'm having trouble 
I've tried a couple times and each time I've tried to @reply to the second poster, the post box clears what I've already typed to the first @reply I did, and it starts over with the second name that I @replied to. Frustrating. I tried the compatibility button at the top for shits and giggles, but that didn't make a difference.
Suggestions?

So once there's more than one page, the @reply doesn't work as well.. :T

Boo. That could be the case, but I can't be 100% certain. I'll have to experiment to see.

@Wondermommy: Hey now... no need for a boo!
Can you walk me through what you did and how it worked (or not) for you... and also, how you'd like it to work?

@mrbee: I click the reply button for you, and your name comes up just fine. But when I'm ready to reply to say, Chopsuey next (in this same post, and I just tried it, and got the same results I've been getting) I'll click on the reply button for her, and the screen jumps a little as everything in the text box completely clears (all the words are gone) and the only thing left in the box is the @reply for Chopsuey, as if I'd never typed an @reply to you, or any other words.
Fwiw, I'm using IE9/Windows 7.
ETA: I'd like it to work like it seems to for everyone else, lol.

@Wondermommy: the same thing is happening to me this morning on IE but i think it used to work. or maybe it just used to work on Safari?
admin / wonderful grape / 20724 posts
@Wondermommy: Got it, I will test multiple replies in IE9.
hostess / wonderful honeydew / 32460 posts
@mrbee: Can you also test replying to people on different pages (for threads with multiple pages)? Or can we not do that?
admin / wonderful grape / 20724 posts
@chopsuey119: you can't do that now.
How would it work, ideally?
