Default 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).

Click image for larger version Name: Screenshot 2024-05-31 091426 2.png Views: 77 Size: 42.7 KB ID: 5922

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

Click image for larger version Name: Screenshot 2024-05-31 094128.png Views: 80 Size: 132.7 KB ID: 5923

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

Click image for larger version Name: Screenshot 2024-05-31 092039 2.png Views: 81 Size: 77.2 KB ID: 5924

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.

I've tested the function out.

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

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

It should be working now.

That's fine.

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

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?

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

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).

Why do I get notifications of my own posts? Don't get it on all of the posts, but some random ones.
