New: Notifications when your posts are quoted or you are @ mentioned (Updated)
 

I have added this.

Twitter-style @ 'Mentions': Typing @Username produces a 'Mention' that will notify the user to your post, and also link to their profile.

eg. Type @James in a post. (Make sure you get the username right or the wrong person would get the alert).

Quote Notification: Members you quote will be notified.

Mentions and Quotes will appear in a new tab on your User Profile (click on your username).

You should get notifications for @ mentions and quoted posts in the same place you get PM notifications.

You'll get browser notifications (if you accept them from this site).

You'll get an e-mail notification for @ mentions but not quoted posts - I turned that off. UPDATE: Disable Mention Emails' is now selected as a default option so If you want to receive emails when you are @ Mentioned go to (on desktop browser) User CP or Site Navigation (on mobile) - Settings under User Tagging and deselect 'Disable Mention Emails.


I'll try to add Android and iOS mobile notifications at a later date also.


UPDATE:

I've added extra options so you can turn all the alerts and notifications off should you want to.

On Desktop browser -

Go to User CP (top-left of screen) - Settings under User Tagging (at the bottom-left).

Then you can select 'Hide Mention Alerts' and 'Hide Quote Alerts' to turn of the PM-style notifications on the forum. You can also 'Disable Mention Emails' and 'Disable Desktop Notifications'.

On Mobile browser -

Go to Site Navigation (with the 3 horizontal bars), then User CP, then scroll down to the bottom and press Setting under User Tagging.

And select the same options above.

That's cool, it's like YouTube.

I've tested the function out.

Hopefully it works, I'll definitely be geeking out on it for awhile.:laugh:

I forgot to turn it on for all forums, before I made my post announcing it. :blush:

It should be working now.

That's fine.

At least we'll all be quoting each other to oblivion.:dance:

I just got one from Mock :amazed:


(No i dont want to watch anime naked with you and Oliver)

but great to get the new notification!

I got a notification that you quoted a post of mine :hee:

Well that's great to hear LT and Niamh, I've been getting the quote function working for me so far as well.

And LT, you don't want my manly bod right next to yours and Oliver's whilst watching Buddy Daddies?

Can someone reply to this post so I can test something?

Maybe

Okay, desktop notification is working properly now.

@James. Love the new feature. It's really great. Thank you.

Also, it works perfectly

You tagged another user there.

Oops my mistake. Anyway thanks again. @James

Yes How the Bloody Hell do I stop it James

James going all American on us

Don't you like it Arista? I think its great 👍

To stop the e-mails - User CP - Edit Options - turn off Receive Email from Administrators.

To stop the browser notifications - click the three dots on the browser alert and you can block them there.

Thank You James

@Cherie @Vanessa @AnnieK @hijaxers @smudgie @Ammi @Niamh. @rusticgal @GoldHeart

Ladies....do you like the new feature. It works perfectly, I love it. Just trying it out on you all.

Actually this is the best way to stop the desktop notifications -

Click the icon to the left of the website address and click off the Notifications switch.

Works with Chrome and Edge.

I wouldn't advise block all Chrome Notifications (with the three dots like I said before).

…ahhhh, Discord have this feature and I’ve experienced it on other forums also - thanks for the update, James…

Yes James it has Not Worked
