+1 I also use this also exclusively to pull people into discussions! I think it should beEXreaction wrote:You wouldn't necessarily want to limit it to...
- open to all users (who have appropriate permissions to post/reply to topic in its current location)
- editing should not re-notify already tagged people
- users should be able to tag groups and all users of that group would be notified (could be abused so should be a permission given by admin to users? )
- definitely be a popup/facebook style thing that appears after typing the "@"
Re: [RFC] Ability to @mention specific users in posts
Has there been an RFC created for this?

Re: [RFC] Ability to @mention specific users in posts
Just one question. Will be possible to use declension in names?

Can you give an example of how it would look/work?leschek wrote:Just one question. Will be possible to use declension in names?
Re: [RFC] Ability to @mention specific users in posts
Well, in my country we use declension in names. It mean if I write about somebody I change in certain way his/her name. Some examples with name John:
I'm John
I saw Johna
I was there with Johnem
I gave it Johnovi
So if there is now:
I would like to have option to write something like:
Also if user has name john_123456 it would allow me to mention him in text as
I'm John
I saw Johna
I was there with Johnem
I gave it Johnovi
So if there is now:
@john
I would like to have option to write something like:
[@=john]Johnovi[/@]
, because it looks much better in text. It would be similar as writing URL BBCode now. Also if user has name john_123456 it would allow me to mention him in text as
[@=john_123456]John[/@]

I would think (the devs would know better than me) that if the @ mentions function is added, then the feature you're requesting would simply be a BBcode addition.

Re: Hashtag MOD is a tryout to implement #keyword auto-links. The biggest problem is to isolate plaintext from instructions (speak: HTML/CSS/JS...).
A problem with @ could be the very same: ftp://user:[email protected] is a legal link and some CSS in the post can also have

@page
. And while you can search for ' @'
nicely it won't catch occurances where the @ starts on a new line or is preceeded by BBCode or else. Not to mention cases where you don't want to have it interpreted. Also I foresee programming boards where people tend to not use BBCodes and then paste C, Pascal or Java, which can easily have dozens of matches: pData:= @sData;
