NEW mentions/tagging system and how to properly use it! - Cooligan - Oct 23, 2019
So as most of you are aware by now, we have a new mentions/tagging feature on HF! Something that was long awaited and is finally here.
I noticed that many users are finding trouble getting the grasp of it, so I figured I'd make a Quick Thread highlighting the uses and what each one does.
CURRENTLY, there are two ways of tagging a user. Now, each way will in fact tag someone, however if for some reason you want to mention your own username and you don't want to get the notification for it, use the [mention=UID] method and not the @username@ method. Using the @username@ method will in fact send you a notification if you tagged yourself, and the [mention=UID] method will not.
1.) [mention=UID] <-- replace "UID" with the actual UID of who you wish to tag.
2.) @username@ <-- same thing, just put the username of who you wish to tag. (easier, more convenient)
How it looks:
Code
[mention=(777)] <-- no parentheseswill turn into:
Cooligan
Code
@Cooligan@will also turn into:
Cooligan
I hope this thread helps and if you have any questions please feel free to ask.

This is a very clean way to have a conversation with someone, no quote boxes.

Me too [mention=113705] , it's far more convenient than typing out a code.

Lol good.
I can see this being very useful when it comes to wanting a friend of yours to check out a certain thread, rather than sending them a PM or Convo with the direct link.

I know, I probably wouldn't have known this until I randomly stumble across the threat that Xerotic made!
Thanks once again Cooligan !

Now lets see how long it will take for it to be removed due to abuse.
