It's currently not designed to work with anything other than posts (mentioning) and threads (tagging) :(

the mention feature doesn't seem to work consistently;

sometimes it doesn't get listed in the Mention tab of a person's profile. then if I post again in the same thread under the same conditions (same mentioned person), it works.

I've been unable to confirm this, could you please experiment some more and try to find a way to reliably reproduce this?

I've read the post about moving the Tag bar to the bottom, but is there a way to remove it altogether? I'd like to use the bbcode method and/or the @xxxx; only. Some of my users won't use this and they'd see that tag bar up there regardless.

I am having the same problem too..when I tag or mention some one ..its not getting listed in the member's profile page..also the weird part is when I, as a admin go to a member's profile I can see them being tagged..but when the member goes to his profile..he cant seem to see the tag or mention.
Also, the user does get a notification..but when he clicks on it.nothing happens...some times it does work and take him to his profile page but he can't see any tags there.

I can't say anything more about the problem - I haven't had time to try to reproduce it yet - but as for the different visibility:
Forum permissions are taken into account when deciding whether to show tags / mentions in an user's profile :)

Please do have a look at this issue when you get a chance :-)

One more issue is that directly using @ in the post is not working..user needs to go to advanced reply and select the mention icon to get the mention work correctly.

I shall, I'll raise this as an (unconfirmed) bug in Project Tools on the DBTech forums :)

Are you sure users used @Username; and not some other variation? This is the first I've heard of this issue...


Fillip

Just checked..your right..they used only @username..missed the ; part :-)

Thank you for clarifying.

Thought as much ^^
Sadly it's not possible for us at this time to only allow @username, because spaces do exist in usernames... *points to self* ;)

We're always investigating ways to change this, though :)
