A mention system
« on: July 23, 2018, 11:52:42 AM »
It would be great to have a mentioning system, it is super helpful in some forums I'm on:
https://www.smfpacks.com/mentionsmod/

It is great if you just want to tag someone to a particular topic without having to PM them.

Thoughts?  :bolt:

I've always wondered why we didn't have this.

Doesn't our Simple Machines forum application have subscriber groups and the ability to blind target specific users for notifications if enabled already? I could be wrong but I thought I saw something like that in the help forums for this BBS app when I was helping solve a problem with POTW's forum which uses the same forum app. I don't think Skuzzy has enabled the full menu of user functions available as a business choice.

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.

I saw him post in another subforum and just about blew coffee over my keyboard. Welcome back TK.

OM - he's fine. He's little grouchy on Sunday evenings - but happy on Tuesdays...can't figure out why yet...and I've known him for almost 15 years...

Keeping on target - I like it because the forum system will let you know you were mentioned in a post - which is a great way to build interaction in the forums.  You'll post something, forget you did, and for weeks go along that someone asked you a question and you just plum forgot... vs

@Larry - about the spaghetti incident last night... -> and the forum will send you an email that you were mentioned in a post or that someone quoted you.

Helps me out a tonne in other forums to remind that someone was mentioning you or quoted a comment you made.

Just saying...

Sounds like a good "option" to have... especially if it allows the user to have the choice to either use it or not


So +1

Not  sure I understand.  We need a mentioning system. why and why?


Every idea we come up with should be predicated with

"Would my wife agree..." or "'would my SO agree..."

First question before all others...
