We have added some new functionality to the forum. This is the "Member Mention" or "Member Tag".
When typing a new topic or response, if you enter "@membername" in the text, the member that you have tagged gets a notification that they have been mentioned. When you type @ followed by the member name you are given options for the member name that you want to tag.
Mentions will show up in your profile, and you will see how many new ones there are as they show up in brackets next to Profile. Tapatalk also picks these up and will notify you that you have a mention.
By default, we have enabled this function to send an email to users. If you don't want to receive an email when you are mentioned, please do the following:
- Go into your profile
- In the left hand menu there is a new "Mentions" option - select this
- Deselect the check box "Enable email notifications"
- Save changes

@tim2000s
Testing... :-[
-
@WalkingWicket37 Yes, it works...
-
@knobjockey ?????????????
-
@tim2000s when I click your name in the first one I tagged to you it is a link to your profile, none of the others have done that.
Is this right??
-
@WalkingWicket37 I think this is a downside/advantage of being an administrator or moderator, although this one allows me to click a link to the your profile so I'd suggest it is the way it works!
It's not mentioned in the release notes!

Thanks @tim2000s
The 2nd mention I received an email and the link works, maybe at the moment it's a case of

I've just got one. But clicking on the new button that says 'profile [1]' shows me nothing.
I've also checked back on all posts made this evening and don't see anyone mentioning me. Any thoughts?
A notification for quotes and mentions as well as showing the user where they were mentioned is a relatively easy hack on most forum software, admittedly I've never come across the one used by CBF but it should be well supported.
-
Did you go into profile then profile info at the top left then mentions?
-
Admittedly the 'profile [1]' notification has now disappeared, but this page showed me nothing last night. If it should carry a link to where you were mentioned and by who then i take back my previous point. :)

@Vitas Cricket I've done a little test for you. I don't know how well it works on names worth two words. From the documents I've seen there may be some hot and miss. It is apparently something that will be fully integrated with the next version of the forum software.
-
I looked at the post above before i checked the top of the page where the notification would appear, so perhaps i caused it to disappear before having chance to see it. Could you try again pretty please?
-
No, it was the same for me - nothing showed up.
-
Same here randomly get a 1 appear next to profile. But sod all info once clicked and looked around.
-
Still getting random 1 appearing but no sign of what it means. Any ideas admin?

I've been getting the same lately too
-
It's very annoying - we nerds don't like change you know!
-
I've got a random 1 near profile.. no idea why and can't see anything on it as help
-
I've had mine say 3 earlier. Cleared and now said 2.
Not sure what's more annoying that. Or the lack of admins input on this??
-
Mine is now saying 2, been to my profile and mentions multiple times and there is nothing to find...

same here.. I've got 2 but no idea how, why or what the hell it means
-
I have seen it as well but can't find any "Mentions" listed in my profile.
-
I see the admin are still continuing to be extremely ignorant to this matter.
Well done. Great job on reacting to members issues.

Thanks for your support @Smilley792, it's always good to have members on side. Bear in mind we can't win whether we introduce something or not.
This has been looked at and it is not clear why some members don't have it working properly and others do.
In order to work it out there are a number of tests we have to do which requires us to leave it turned on so you'll just have to bear with us on this one.

Tbh I was merely after a reaction. Gerry style.
A reply earlier saying it's been looked into would have sufficed, and made members feel that the issue was being looked into, and not ignored.
-
Oh well - keep smiling eh?

I've decided you're like a packet of Poundland Balloons you are - potentially bags of fun, but you do like the odd pop!
-
Don't know if it's connected but couldn't find a mention of it anywhere else, but I keep getting the random [1], checked and it's not any of the obvious mentions/post likes etc. Stays there for a while each time and then disappears, anyone know why?

Me too

Same here and my postings are definitely not interesting enough to get mentions. At least i know now to ignore them, it was driving me mad. :)

Profile 1 strikes again :D
-
I have a feeling that the number comes up whenever someone interacts with one of your posts. I.e. quote or likes it.

That shouldn't happen. We'll have to check that out.

It doesn't happen to me for 'likes'.

This Profile[1] really fancies me its always there watching

Going to test @tushar sehgal

Mine just popped up as well. @InternalTraining
-
A trend i have noticed.
Whenever someone bumps a topic i have previously been mentioned in, i get a profile notification again.
-
Yep, as has just happened with this one!
