Prophet 168 Posted April 3, 2012 Yo people, I suddenly have this crazy idea, what do you say if we could mention the other member, and then the mentioned member will get a notification that he/she is being mentioned. (pretty much the same with Facebook & Twitter system). I dunno if it is possible, i just feel like spilling my thought here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ito 2438 Posted May 1, 2012 Cool idea actually. I think we would pretty much need to find a premade mod for that, don't know if one exists, but we could look into that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Champ213 1858 Posted May 1, 2012 Wouldn't it be a problem that people don't always spell out a person's full name? Most people say "Champ" and not "Champ213" and "Cat" instead of "Cat5", "Kai" instead of "kai_desu" and so on... Plus, think of all the users that use names of band members, songs etc. as username. I guess that would create a lot of false hits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am pretty much aware of that. Another problem is many people change their ID name quite often here. But you know, in facebook if you write '@' and then the initial alphabet of the person you want to mention, there will be automatic correction pop up box which I believe will avoid such matter. See this image: But I believe it will be more and more difficult to apply. XD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Number Girl 48 Posted May 6, 2012 I've always thought it would be nice to get a notification if someone quoted a post you made or something like that so it would be a bit easier to keep up with conversations and threads you've made. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LIDL 692 Posted May 7, 2012 I believe there is such kind of mod that Number Girl just mentioned. Because there's a forum i joined been applicating it and even a costumized background on profile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ah, getting notification if somebody quoted our post(s) would be neat as well. I believe there is such kind of mod that Number Girl just mentioned.Because there's a forum i joined been applicating it and even a costumized background on profile. But how about the mention thingy? have you ever seen applicable mod for this in other forums? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But how about the mention thingy? have you ever seen applicable mod for this in other forums? So far, not. But may be possible, but i guess it gonna need new field in our profile page then. So we can view who mentions who. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
