So I don't even know for sure if these features can be implemented on this forum but I thought I'd ask anyway. I would assume they can though because all of the forums I've seen that had them use the vBulletin software which this forum also uses.

I've seen on other forums that they have a feature where you receive a notification when somebody quotes your post, I think it's a good idea because sometimes you forget that you've posted in a certain thread, especially whilst BB is on and there are so many new threads made every day or someone might quote your post expecting a reply and if you don't revisit the thread there's no way you're going to see that. Just like you get a notification when somebody posts on your wall or sends you a private message, you would get one telling you that your post has been quoted.

Another feature I've seen on other forums is user mentioning. You use the @ symbol followed by a username if you're specifically addressing a certain member(s). Basically it's like @replies on Twitter but on a forum instead.

So for example:

I really think you'll like this song @Ann @Red Moon

Ann and Red Moon (or whoever you address the @ to) would get a notification with a link to the thread.

Admin/mods, what do you think?
