Could just have it so that it removes the @ and visually comes up as just the username, but still sends a notification.
I don't like the way @username looks either, but I can see the benefit of having the mention system.
@Butthurter why you hurting me
this, the @ will look dumb otherwise. maybe bold it or do some flashy css effect idk
YOU KNOW NOTHING
But seriously you won't have to need them stored, it will just be a special mention object in the delta if anything. The @ won't need to be sent to the server at all.
You web browser will show a list of usernames and shit. when posting, the delta will say "this is a mention" and will be seen just a link to everyone else. It will only act as a trigger
@cunt
reporting in, what's up
I've seen several people, including Garry, mention that posts are stored as deltas. Could someone elaborate on that for those of us who don't actually know what exactly that entails?
Just have it without @ and be case-sensitive
@Hezzy
Anyway you could make it so users have to do @username in order to tag them, but when displayed on the post it does like you said where it bolds it and makes it a link to the user's profile.
haha, you think you're gonna get fucked?
give me them notifications boys!
just use @
anything else is fucking retarded
Simply format the @username to become a link to the user's profile.
@Hezzy becomes Hezzy. Simple. Looks good. Doesn't trigger mentions by accidental words. Becomes obvious that a specific user is being mentioned and is notified.
How do you do it?
I think you just type my name out in a normal post?
I just got a notification for being quoted, although I was quoted before earlier tonight and did not receive a notification. That quote was in an automerge, though, so maybe it slipped through.
Sgt. Napalm
Sgt. Napalm
SGTNAPALM
Sgt Napalm
If that's how it's supposed to work as per earlier posts in this thread, it didn't.
SIRIUS
Yup, got nothin
Someone mentioned in another thread that it also doesn't seem to work for any quotes past the first in a post as well. For example this:
shouldn't give SIRIUS a notification while Sgt. Napalm should get one.
Yeah i didnt get a notification
i picked meanwhile so i can self-insert myself into every sentence where the word "meanwhile" is used
I think this is the best suggestion. Keep the same functionality of everywhere else while making it look clean.
Type in "@Hezzy" and get "Hezzy".
maybe with link functionality too? idk
It still makes sense to use @ anyways, since it makes your comments more direct to an individual.
You mean type "@Hezzy" and get "Hezzy" right
I think it will be better to show it to you, I don't think I could do it justice
