[3.0] Notify user when name is mentioned

(1/19) > >>

Dzonny:
The development team is considering adding "Notify user when name is mentioned" in future versions.
We consider putting usernames in a special bbc code, so users can be notified  via email or pm that they are being talked to.

What do you all think?

Ozzie:
what is the point of this to me its pointless,,,a bit like miss miss miss/sir sir sir there talking about you

i take it you mean everytime that a users name is used in a post they will recieve a notification....umm no thanks what happens when like for instance i make a post and several members then post sommat like" what a good post ozzie or thanks ozzie " i gonna get notified each time my name is mentioned ..and what happens if in admin/mods board we are talking about members do they get to know we are talking about them ..again No thanks this is like big brother watching you


Well thats my opinion

Dzonny:
Well, as i said, we consider adding new bbc code that will be used for notifying members. For example:
" what a good post ozzie or thanks ozzie " - result with nothing, and:
" what a good post [nu]ozzie[/nu] or thanks ozzie " - result with notification to user "ozzie" because of using "nu" bbc code (which i just used like an example).

Ozzie:
i still dont see the point of it!!why would someone want to notify someone that they were talking about them, but regardless of that i will watch this post with interest

Suki:
A good idea indeed, I just worry about how to implement this without adding more queries.
