New Feature! @Somebody

Hi!

I just added a new feature in which you can @ a member. This means when you do this, the person you chose will receive a notification that will direct them to the post.
It works just like on twitter or facebook or instagram.
  • Just type the @ symbol followed by the username (start typing and you'll see a handy drop down list of usernames appear)
  • The BBCode brackets will appear automatically and look like this:

Code: Select all

[mention]Joan Marie[/mention]
  • When you submit the post, it will look like this: @Joan Marie

To try this out, go ahead and @ me and I will reply and do it back to you.

I think this might be a really useful feature for us, making us able to get in closer contact with each other.

Additionally, you can choose to get an email notification whenever someone @'s (mentions) you.
  • Just go to the user Control Panel (click on your username, upper right)
  • Select "Board Preferences" from the top tabs
  • Select "Edit Notification Options" from the left tabs
  • Check the box under "email" for "someone mentions me"
easy-peasy.

I was just thinking about this the other day! How do you @ someone with spaces in their name?

Never mind, got it. It's in BBCODE :)
