@User Mentions Feature Info & Instructions

Advanced @User Tagging
Knowing whether you have been mentioned, or keeping up to date on subjects is important to a dedicated forum user. In busy forums it can make a real difference to being capable of keeping on top of the threads and posts that are relevant to you.

@User Tagging enables users to keep up to date with the threads and posts that matter via a number of notification systems.

Let’s see how each of these four simple notifications work so that you can get the best out of the system.

Mentions
Mentions allow a user to be notified when they have been mentioned in a thread. They work very similar to the Twitter system by adding a ‘@’ symbol in front of a user’s username.

In some instances, forum administrators might have required a username to have a ‘;’ semicolon symbol after the username, so as to prevent confusion with email addresses being viewed as usernames.

It is also possible to use a ‘mention’ BBCode tag, which works like regular BBCode and requires a username to be wrapped in Mention tags.

All three work as follows:

@AUsername

@AUsername;

"@"

When a user is tagged, it looks like this in the finished post
@DjMark7 , @Vamps

You can also find all the Mentions you’ve made, or have been made about you in the Mentions section of your Profile page.

You have included 63 images in your message. You are limited to using 4 images so please go back and correct the problem and then continue again.

Images include use of smilies, the BB code [img] tag and HTML <img> tags. The use of these is all subject to them being enabled by the administrator.4
