ninjahood's @'s are going to be crazy. The way people call him out.
I had to go to settings and switch to rich editor.anyone else not seeing the @ update?
I'm trying. I've been in touch with Steez/Brilliant and I'm still waiting to hear from Rajah so I can get the original design files. Maybe we need to send a goon squad out. If my avatar has a failing, it's his general reluctance to utilize henchmen in performing menial or potentially dangerous tasks.Originally Posted by
But uh, How about w/ these changes, we get another run of NT fitteds to commemorate this monumental change
If given an unlimited budget, iOS/Android applications would be great - but it's just not that cost effective for us right now. The mobile site essentially does pretty much everything but the push notifications.Another method could be notifications via PM.
Although, if they had a solid app for all smartphones that could utilize push notifications, that would just take the cake. but I'm just sayin
I assume it's derived from the email convention, user@mailserver. I'm not a fan of the jargon and while I can accept it as a shortcut, I'd like to strip the @ symbol out of the mentions. Not only do I find it cosmetically unappealing, but, functionally, I don't like the idea of users treating an @mention as a discrete unit. If it simply appears as a name, the inclination is to use the name in a sentence. Facebook isn't exactly a model of elevated discourse, and even there you can see the distinction. "So and so was WITH so and so", not "@blabbityblah wzup #yolo."Originally Posted by
I never understood why its a @. I'm not speaking AT someone, I'm speaking to them.. I'll never get behind how people use twitter. That lingo is absurd.
@akajaedeuce lol first
Get it all out of your systems now, because this is the type of stuff we're going to delete before it clutters up the forums.@Hypebeast5 Bruh bruh!

What I would like to see is for @mentions to show up alongside other notifications on the mobile site, just as it currently shows you the combined number of new PMs and updated topics waiting for you. Ideally, you could see a list of these and perhaps they could even show up on your front page feed on the desktop site, too.
There's stuff that can be done to make the feature better that wouldn't entail QA for 3,000 different devices and os permutations. And those are the improvements that I think we can reasonably request.
First, we have to demonstrate demand - and that starts here.
Basically, we need to substantiate two claims here: (1) our users value the idea of @mentions, but (2) they'd find them far more useful if _________.
Let's use it for awhile as is and in the process we can figure out what's it's doing well and where it could benefit from some tweaks.

If we can prove that our users understand the feature, we can better make the case that they're not going to FORGET if we make the change. It's no more challenging than video/photo embedding, and our members are always willing to provide assistance to those who don't yet understand those features. We believe that any confusion caused by stripping out the @ will be treated by users helping users.

Autocomplete requires the rich text editor. You can still create mentions in the simple editor. Just enclose the username in the following bbcode brackets: @Originally Posted by

Quote notifications are coming soon, as an extension of the @mentions feature. Beyond that, I don't want to commit to something when the timetable is uncertain at the risk of disappointing people.Originally Posted by
this site pretty much has everything now,
is there any other stuff being added?
i also thought that when you click the green thumb you'd be able to see the peoples names that found it helpful.
I agree. Something like this...
if you really want this to work, you need a "mentions" link next to your inbox to see and manage it properly.
Thanks, @akajaedeuce
