Description of problem

I'm trying to get the forum to a point where typing in the @ sign will give users the ability to find a member and "mention" them without typing in their full user name.

I tried the option here: https://help.forumotion.com/t140358-make-the-mentioning-system-easier-to-use#1104141

But it doesn't work.

Do you already have the mention system activated in the admin panel?

Is JavaScript Management activated?

Where is the option? I've looked everywhere ... or thought I did anyway.

AP > General ? Messages & Emails > Configuration
Messages Section
Allow usernames tags:

ohhh ... enabled now. Still not working though.

Yes, I activated this when I added the java script

hello
 
on the code did you change the var version to your version?

Modifications : At the top of the script you will see a version variable. Make sure that the number corresponds to your forum version

Ok, I corrected to show modernbb

/* FORUM VERSIONS
* 0 = PHPBB2
* 1 = PHPBB3
* 2 = PUNBB
* 3 = INVISION
* 4 = MODERNBB
* 5 = AWESOMEBB
*/
$(function() {
var version = 4;

Also, found a line referencing Quick Reply in the code and turned on quick reply ... still nothing.

What do you mean by no result? Exactly

It doesn't work. I type the @ sign and then start typing a user name, and not getting a popup to select a user.

Hey @kcryss,

Welcome to Forumotion Support Forum! You are used the first option that add a quick way to mention, like the example:
But in the meantime what you want is: https://fmdesign.forumotion.com/t943-topic (i believe)

Are you doing the one that adds a button in the editor?  If yes, did you do the CSS part?

Yes, that is exactly what I was trying to do. I thought the one I was following was going to allow that to happen. I will try the other link you provided.

I was using the first option and I did add the CSS piece.

Do you have css activated?

Wow, I was simply responding to questions asked ... wasn't trying to bump or double post.

I didn't know there was an activation option for CSS, but I have been making changes via css and they are working. Is there something I might be missing?
