You can now mention users in your posts when you feel its necessary. All you have to do is add the @ in front of the username - @Shaggy - and it will send a notification to that member that they were mentioned in your post so they can find it easily. You can also shut off any notifications like this on your usercp if you don't want to be notified either.

I looked under my user CP for the place to turn it off and cannot find it. I looked at 'edit options' first and a couple other pages, can't figure out where it would be categorized.

@skwerl , I thought there was an option to turn off the notifications. I'll check the modification thread where I downloaded it and see if there is one.

In the meantime, please stop using that on me just to piss me off. I already stated I didn't want it. I can follow the forum while I'm on the forum, I don't need email notifications from the forum when I'm not on the forum. Especially for stupid, inane crap like this. This isn't Facebook or Twitter, quit trying to turn it into that crap.

I like how on some of the other forums it'll pop the usernames as you type them. Some of you fools have interesting usernames with too many numbers/characters to type

Let's find out.



Brian, did you get tagged again?






LOL!

Nope, it just notifies me that my post was quoted. Just like you got notified as I just quoted yours. ;)

I was able to turn off the 'receive notification when your post is quoted' but still cannot find anywhere to turn this thing off.

On the other hand it's just a fad feature and in a few weeks it will be forgotten. The other possibility is that it will be used as a weapon to antagonize and harass other members and the management will eventually disable it after multiple complaints.

And now I'm getting notifications when a post of mine is quoted. Please allow me to turn off this unwanted noise.
