Introducing a new addition to the site, @(username) and Tagging Users!




Have you ever responded to someone in a thread and they never responded back? Perhaps they never read your response?


Have you ever put up a thread and wanted someone in particular to read it?


Well now you can!



@ USERS ~ MENTIONS:


Well, now they can be notified with @(username)!


Similar to twitter, you can @(username) a user while mentioning them in a topic.


For example, you a user uploads a great photo, and you want to make sure they read your response.


You can say @(username), that photo is great!


Then the user will get a notification that you have responded or mentioned them in a thread.


When you use the @(username), it is called a "Mention". Meaning, of course, that you mentioned them in a post.


Another cool part about @(username) is that if you do, it will create a link to their profile!


Here is an example: [MENTION=1]bullmama[/MENTION]


If you want someone to read a thread, you can tag them. The tag users box is right above the first post on the thread over the "Reply to thread" button.

You can now turn off notifications in your settings for mentions, post quotes and thread tags.

Go to Settings--->

Scroll down to the bottom left, and choose Settings under User Tagging.

Check the boxes to disable emails from the following choices:

Disable Mention Emails, Disable Thread Tag Emails, Disable Post Quote Emails, Disable Hashtag Subscriptions
