Is there a mod that will allow mentions such as "@Mike @Peter check this out"?

It's also a core feature in 2.1.

@Mik:  Thanks for the link: I found those two ;)  One has never been updated past 2014 and the Breeze one I just tried but those tags only work on the "wall page" created under your profile, not in the forum boards. I can test the old one just to be sure.

@Arantor: I am running 2.0.17, so I will need to wait a bit until they do a release :)

The 2014 one by Dragooon is what was incorporated into 2.1, I don't believe core had significant changes to it after that.

Try emulating the mod prior to upload. I use it in my own forum.

Load the mod. Then look in your mod list for "advanced" link at the bottom and emulate to whatever the smf version is and Install.

The old one "works" but will only send emails to notify you, no way to see online if you have any mentions without going to the dedicated page for it.

Ah ok. Well, that's whats available at the moment. Plus like Arantor mentioned, 2.1 has it.

To be fair, this is why the alerts system was built in 2.1...

It will be released when it is ready :D

Looking at the Github, RC3 is very close to being released. The final version should not take long after that imo.

In the meantime, @mention members is your best option.
