Something I've seen in SMF forums is a neat feature where you can name someone in a post (i.e
@Skuzzy) and it does three things:
1 - puts a link to that persons profile
2 - notify the person via message or email you put with the @ symbol that you were mentioned in a post with a link to the post with a link to your reply
3 - allows you respond to posts and others for opinions ...right
@hitech?
It just makes posting more interactive without having to go to the message function and ask for others input who may not be active in the forums or are just busy at the moment and brings others into the conversation. Works good in all implementations I've seen with the odd person being wrongly identified. Then it gets EXCITING
