 Poster: A snowHead
|
Sorry if this is an inappropriate place for this post, or if it has been answered before (couldn't find the answer).
Is there a way to mention/tag a user in a post so that they get notified for being mentioned? Other ways?

Hi @ittayd, I think that if you click on the users name it adds it onto the post. If their settings allow it, they should then be notified.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

As far as I know clicking on the name just adds an @ to the username and puts bold html tags around it. I don't believe it can or does trigger any notification.
As a contributor a thread shows up in Your posts with an indication (folder icon is orange filled) that there is a new post but there is nothing to say the new post is directed at you or in response to something you've written. Only the tagging described above which helps you to manually review.

@bowesyboy, click on the person's name where it shows of the left of your screen. That person will get an email notification, if their settings allow it.

Yes, it just adds the ampersat to the username, but this does in fact trigger a notification, depending on the users settings, so you can just add it yourself, doesn't need the bold tags either. Similarly the "quote=username" will also trigger a notification.

It's in square brackets, "[quote=ddddd]" with a matching end quote tag "[/quote]" . You see it if you hit the quote button to the right of a post in the list but can also be added manually.
