Do You Have a "Mention" Function?

[cereal_killer]

I think we should increase the number of allowed messages, otherwise my inbox will be full in a couple of days

They don't go into your inbox, so you will be fine

yes (or at least i think so as its the new box)


go to your user CP...edit options.


go to messages and notifications..... last box... and disable the Likes Notifications:

He's actually talking about quote notifications going to his email. We missed it and didn't turn it off it's fixed though

i can see how getting an email for every quote/mention would be annoying. Im pretty sure people will be happy you shut that off.


the check box in User CP didn't stop it from adding a notification into your regular notifications though.

Yeah it's not working at the moment....at least there are no pop-ups so thats fixed

I'm actually ok with that. I've been wanting that kind of notification for some time now, just not via email. I like how we can go directly to the quote too.

I don't want to be getting dozens of notifications telling me that people have quoted me, liked a post or whatever. I don't particularly want someone to be able to "summon" me by inserting a "@" in front of my name. If you want to call my attention to something you may have written, send me a PM with a link.

Ahhhh!!!!!

I agree. Its already annoying.

If a "shut off" isn't obvious, I'd appreciate hearing how to do it.

Thanks.

For once Luddly and I agree on something. Give us an "off" switch or remove it altogether. I don't generally give a shit if someone quotes me and if I do I don't need a GOD damned notice in my fucking e-mail.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Really beautiful cat but its not really helpful to this issue.

Perhaps, you would be willing to answer questions (see above) about this new function?

Yeah, I understand.

I had to go pour a strong drink before I could continue ...

How do you disable this new reply notification spam thing,

and whose idea was that?

 

[Rat in the Hat]

I think there should be an opt-out option for this, just like with rep.


If not, then I will just put anyone who "summons" me on ignore.

@Daktoria @freedombecki hello!!

Hello, cereal killer. What is a "mention"?

It's similar to Twitter. If you want to mention someone in your post they will be alerted that you did so.

What if one has never been a Twit? What then?!?
I see a new button that sez "Tag user(s)"...
I'm lost.

 

[Quantum Windbag]

I would find it annoying

[MENTION=5217]Truthmatters[/MENTION]

Good

 

[syrenn]

look If that button was here I would be non stop harrased by it.

That is why I said I dont think Id like it.

@ Truthmatters

[MENTION=40495]AngelsNDemons[/MENTION] - Can I 'mention' myself?

And, how do we 'tag' someone?

Love it when rw's admit they're just trolls.
