RodEnuf Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 The new button at the bottom of posts is the Mention button. Have you wanted to reply to a post without quoting the post but with some indication of whose post you're replying to? Well that's what the Mention button is for. When you click it, a reply form will open which already contains a mention of the Username of the person you're replying to. If the user who made the post you're replying to has the Username "John Doe", the mention will look like this at the beginning of the first line of your reply. BTW, that blue button mention is also a link to his Profile. Thanks to JTT for installing this enhancement.

RodEnuf Posted March 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 It never occurred to me to type in front of the mention. Very clever, Josh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTT Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 So you can do it that way, but also when posting, if you type an (a) [at] sign and start typing a username, a list comes up so you can "tag" people. Looks like it's a bit similar to how you can tag someone on Facebook or Twitter. So I can tag @RodEnuf or @canuck45 or whoever else I want.

F. LaCid Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 That's going to be useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTT Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 @RodEnuf It still functions the same way - I was having a developer look at if there were possible enhancements to this. In doing that, now the tooltip for the icon does say "Reply to this Post". Vinnig 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
