It is now possible to mention another forum member in a post and an instant email is sent to that person saying that you had mentioned them.

 

Just start typing @member's name. After the first few letters you will see the possible choices and then select the correct one.

 

They will get an instant email provided that their notifications are set so that they haven't suspended all email notifications. There is also a tick box in notifications under "Influence Notifications - when someone mentions you" which members can untick if they don't want to get such emails.

 

You won't get an email if you mention yourself.

 

Any similarities with Twitter are of course coincidental.

  Thanks El loro.  Oooh I must check... the email I supplied for registration was ages ago, it might be out of date...

I assume it's sent to the email address you use to log in. It should be the one on your forum profile page:

Oooo....I will have to remember not to mention anyone by name ....which I do regularly Thanks @El Loro  

Baz, yours hasn't gone through as a mention to be emailed to me. You can see that the @and my name aren't in blue hyperlink text.

When you start typing the @name you need to wait for the possible names to be listed and select from those to get @Baz

If for some reason you want to show it as just text rather than a mention just use Remove Link over the name to remove the link @Baz

....but no e-mail has arrived!

I did mention earlier that it doesn't work when you send it to yourself - I tried it to see if it would and it didn't.
