New Posting Features - [DBTech] Advanced User Tagging v3 (vB4)

Advanced @User Tagging: What is it?

DragonByte Technologies is proud to present [DBTech] Advanced @User Tagging.

The @user Tagging mod is designed to increase activity on your forum by allowing members to mention each other in posts when talking about them.
This is done in a very easy way, very similar to how Twitter mentions people. We use @ ; as the tags, so for instance you could say:
----
This new mod from @Dragonbyte Tech; is pretty cool.
----
The ?@DragonByte Tech;? Will become a link to the DragonByte Tech users profile, it will also inform DragonByte Tech they had been mentioned, and link to the relevant thread/post via a new area in the profile section, as well as a new tab in the shoutbox.

It also allows members to ?tag? the thread for specific other members by inputting their usernames in the tag box above the posts of the thread.

This is a great way to increase your forum activity with no extra admin input required ? people will start to mention posts/threads to their friends, which will increase the amount of posting. This is especially useful of forums which have an international contingent (so threads posted in during the night for some of your members don't go overlooked) or forums which have a lot of posts/threads each day ? again to make sure that a post a person might want to read doesn't get lost in the crowd.

no email notifications?

A pity...

I have just upgraded to the vBulletin 4.2.0 compatible version and one of my users is complaining that he isn't being sent notifications when he is quoted. He receives notifications when he is tagged but not when quoted. He has a $ sign in his name if that makes a difference. Thanks for your support.

Still getting notification issues on the page, where it will notify as if the notifications mod is installed. It's basically giving me on all pages except the homepage, notifications about how many users there are in the registration queue, which is a feature from your notifications add-on.

I don't see tagging option at all while creating new threads....... i do see a menu on left side of admincp i do see settings and everything but when i try to tag users in blogs or threads or post anything i don't see any option for user tag ???? any help . thanks in advance

[Crotan]

Looking awesome, however any possibility of having autocomplete for the "Tag User" text field above threads, similar to the private message text field, where a small popup will show a suggested username?

Sorry, I'm not sure what it is you're asking. Could you please clarify?

There are no thread tag fields in the Blog at this time.

If you do not see the User Tag List above the threads, ensure it's been enabled in both the settings and the Forum Manager under DBTech - User Tagging.

There's no display to @mention someone in a post, you just do it

If you post this in our support forums for AUT we'll be sure to take it into consideration for future versions

Whats the user tag list box for?

[KGodel]

With this mod installed, every page except the homepage is given Super-Mods and Admins this notification:

[DragonByte Tech]

There is no functionality within this mod that alters the behaviour of users awaiting moderation, I believe you are mistaken.

Could you please double-check that it is, in fact, this mod causing it? Please also try disabling all Plugins from this product and re-enable them one-by-one until you find the culprit.
