Now, go to your administrative panel: AP>> General>> Messages & e-mail>> Configuration>> "Keywords tags permissions" You will have 3 options: 1- Option not available 2- Option available to all your members 3- Option available to groups: Mention on the front - Posts Tag a user by using @username When you click on @mention, you'll have the user profile appearing - Your profile You can receive notifications via the toolbar or email: Front>> Profile>> Notifications - Notifications *Via the profile *Via the toolbar Please note: - If you have a username with a space or special characters, you must add " " After the @ and at the end of the name ( See Example Code Below ) Example: Code: @"ange tuteur" Code: @"Empire_1"   Limitations of the system Of course it won't work for all username Some example that won't work @test@sd.com @<3Natalia<3 @#Natalia (# Hashtag will be taken into account not @) @ won't be taken into account inside code

A ForuMotion Important Announcement

[faver]

I can't use usertag funtion for username which has a space like this: @Hue Bat. How can type to tag this user in a post? I have read your instruction but i can't do it, please tell me more detail. Thanks!

[Ramdaman]

Hi faver,

That would be one of the limitations of this option I believe.

[Rhino.Freak]

Awesome!! To cover up the limitations.. How about only usernames that are NOT causing problems be banned?
Like spaces in the usernames etc can be banned? Or how about a nice tutorial to ban them?

If you have a use name with a space you have to add " " example @ange tuteur
this will then let you do the names with a space

Glad you got it to work now lol sorry about the missing text in the tutorial this was in there but as butter cup did not add its a s code the system thought it was asking for the @ name not a code to show how its meant to be lol

@APE can you try to mention me once" wanna see it
Also, what would happen if I get mentioned in a topic that I do not have permission to see? Same with hash tags, what if any hash tags that I am following are tagged in a post I am not authorized to see? O.O

@Rhino.Freak if you are tagged in a topic that has a Hashtag it will still work  but if you type # @Ape then it will not work it wil find the @ Ape first and the Hashtag will not work  so if you want to use the 2 in the same thread then your have to do it like this

@Rhino.Freak Some text then the #tag then it will work

[Van-Helsing]

HUGE thanks!!!
Our forum is loving this new feature.

[Beyonder]

@ange tuteur
Doesnt look like it works with the glowing feature.....

[Anzo]

The code doesn't work you use it along side Code. This what happens:

[Rhino.Freak]

I know, I reported this bug.. even though @Buttercup said its fixed, it really isn't

[Beyonder]

Code:

I know, I reported this bug.. even though @Buttercup said its fixed, it really isn't

Gotta wait the coders and technicians are taking care of it.

[Shadow]

Hello

That's normal. @ are not taken into account inside code.

[Beyonder]

Hello

That's normal. @ are not taken into account inside code.

Yeah I noticed that.

[Hatsune Miku]

The code doesn't work you use it along side Code. This what happens:

I don't really understand the use of having tags inside code

[Anzo]

I was trying to elaborate to our members how it works so I added the mention tag inside of a code, then added the examples of how they would look like without the code brackets. @Hatsune Miku

[Mati]

Very nice I like this option.

[Rhino.Freak]

Hello

That's normal. @ are not taken into account inside code.

You didn't understand the issue, the problem is, using the @ tag FOLLOWED by a Code Box, results in bug.
Example coming through

Code:

@Buttercup blabla this a random code

@Buttercup this is a random problem

Wait this is solved now

[Ultron's Vision]

The code doesn't work you use it along side Code. This what happens:

If you really want to make tags work within code tags I'll have a look what I can do for you.

[SLGray]

That issue should be fixed now.

[scubascaff]

Can someone help me with this? Why am I not able to check the "Your username tagged on a topic" button?

[SLGray]

That option not available for this system.  The only option is the toolbar.

[scubascaff]

thank you! 

I've got the toolbar activated; however, it doesn't seem like users are able to check their notifications via their handheld devices (at least while in full site mode). Any insight on that?

[Ramdaman]

Yea, I feel you @scubascaff,

I'm mobile a lot of the times and the toolbar is a no-no for me when browsing via my mobile device.
