As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.
I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.
Tag another member?
Tag another member?
Is it possible to tag another member in a post so they are notified? This is possible on some other forums I am on and I think it'd be helpful here. For instance, if you see a watch on sale that someone else previously expressed interest in, tagging them would be easier than having to go back and quote their original post about wanting that watch.
I wish that watch were 38mm?

Did this get you notified?

Re: Tag another member?
I'm not sure if the base software allows this. I'll research to see if there is an add-on that allows it.

[mention]Boourns[/mention], the tagging system is now live.
To use it, start typing the username prefaced with @ and a drop-down should popup with a list of names matching what you are typing. You can also enclose the username in [.mention][/mention] bbcode (remove the preceding . ).
You may have to go to your User Control Panel notification settings to enable the notification. Once you do, notifications will appear next to the bell symbol in the menu bar, or in your email (if you select that option).

The drop down just takes a second to show up. Thanks for adding this so quickly. This can definitely be put to good use.

Any orphaned @'s will prevent the drop down from popping up. In that case, enclose the username in the mention bbcode.FTE wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2019 1:20 pmManOnTime wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2019 1:16 pm The tagging system is now live.
