Thank you, Paul, I will go see if I can find that one.

actually, this is kind of similar, but not the same thing. maybe it can be integrated into the other mod (with author's permission of course).

I THINK THE ORIGINAL IDEA WAS GREAT!

Did they ever develop the mod for the original idea? i hope you guys haven't given up on this.

You could do a cron and have it search the post table and do it that way, too.

I haven't given up on this, but there's been no action so far. :(

I'm curious if anyone else might be interested in this, and/or want to take this on as a pet project?

I would be very interested in this as well.

So let me get this straight, a pm upon their name being mentioned would be the ideal situation, but then it comes down to issues where users may have actual words or something commonly used as their name, which would be a pain for some members.

What about a mod that notifies users when they have been quoted?

This would be resolved by making the person typing the post/thread have to use a BBcode tag... like [user] or [tag] or something... That way you can CHOOSE when or if you tag someone...

Also interested in this mod btw....

Yes, as BlueNinjaGo mentioned, it would be preferred if this were used in conjunction with a BBCode. Instead of a PM, I think a notification would be better, and perhaps even a screen in UserCP (since a popular person might receive a lot of notifications in a short time!).

It really is similar to the Who Quoted Me? plugin, but using a custom BBCode as well as the Quote one.

I might give this a shot in the future.
