Mention option
Technical Details
Forum version : #ModernBB
Position : Administrator
Concerned browser(s) : Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome
Who the problem concerns : All members
Forum link : https://soapsnlotions.forumotion.net/
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.

Re: Mention option
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.

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

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

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?
