I don't want to write "@" all the time though. Makes it more like twitter and people will slip back to awful text speak that the forum is against.

If you want too see if you're being mentioned just search the forum for your name using the feature at the top.

You wouldn't have to. It would be an optional feature and you would only use it when it suits you. I doubt they would, most active members on here don't use text speech so I don't see why they would suddenly start using it if this feature was implemented. Sure, there are members who use text speech on a regular basis and who would continue to use it with this but that's down to the mods to sort them out.
