We have a new mod that enables you to "mention" another user. They will receive a notification in their Profile menu, and an email. (Individual users can turn off the option to receive mention emails.)
To do so, simply type @ followed by the username, like this:
@BKA After you type the @ and then start typing a user name, you should see a list of suggested user names in a drop down menu below the cursor. Click one to autocomplete the mention. Names are case insensitive, so bka = BKA =bKa = etc....
There must be a space before the @, or it won't work.
Edit: This may not work if you are using Tapatalk to post. But type the @ anyway, and we'll fix it if we see it.
So, here goes with a few tests:
@The Void <--- should work with user names that include a space
@the milky oolong @jakub.zahumensky <--- should work with user names with a ".", or similar, in them.
@shalafi @AOÄ <--- should work with user names that include UTF-8 characters.
PLEASE DO NOT SPAM! Remember, every time you use this, someone could get an email. So we recommend to
only use it if you want a specific reply from someone.
Example (good): if a user isn't a regular on the forum, you might use it to prompt them to reply to a thread they were talking about:
" @fakename - is this okay for the Endless Combo trick you set? ....."
Example (bad): Talking about someone to someone else:
"Yeah, @fakename did that trick in her first video."
Example (bad): If someone is on the forum all the time, they'll probably see it anyway, so there's no need to mention the "power users":
"Hi
@The Void , looking forward to seeing you at IKO!"
EDIT:
Looks like the emails aren't sending at the moment, but everything else is working.... Fixed! (fingers crossed...)
