Hiya

I've installed this mod, works okay. Got a question though.

When I type @username; to tag a user in a post, then it is shown as @username: in the post. I thought it shouldnt have shown @ and : in the final post but those were just to tag the users? Is that's how it works? Sorry there are no clear instructions in the readme file.

Cheers

It is indeed correct that it shows @ and :, because on most forums (and indeed also twitter), the @ char is used as a substitute for the [quote] tag.

In the Pro version, you can disable the @, though.

Oh then that's how it works. Thanks for clarifying.

You really need to implement some measures for forum permissions. I have private forums, and when a user without access to those forums is tagged, they still receive a notification.

I see that when a user is mentioned in a private forum that they do not have access to, they will receive notice saying "1 Notification" but when they click on it, the list shows up empty.

(edited because I figured out how to turn off the thread tagging altogether!)

Thanks so much for this mod, I have been looking for something like this forever. Even without the permission settings, it's fantastic for the public forum.

It's performance intensive to check forum permissions before inserting the notification, that's why that choice was made as a lesser evil.

Good to know, thanks for the response :)

Hi,

I have weird problem with shoutbox integration.

I chose to disable the integration, but when I make mentions it still shouts it. The weird thing is that the shout notices don't appear until I make a shout myself, then they disappear after a refresh.

I've raised the broken SB integration switch as an issue at DBT forums' Project Tools, I'll fix it for the next version.

thx, for now I've just commented the code in newpost_complete.php :)

Tagging, it doesnt work under social groups or any other site like pictures etc?
