    Me again.

    So, it's rather interesting this. I'm still configuring it but it seems the tagging system you suggested is installed and happy it seems.

    Sooo...Currently, I can tag peeps here in the following manner. For example...err...
    [MENTION=539]HarleyCyn[/MENTION]

    And that should now tag Harley. However, if I do this:

    magicalferretinatophat@gmail.com

    It'll present it as an email address. There's the option to request a semi-colon to show where the thing is meant to stop but lemmie get it just how it ought to be and we'll be just peachy.

    Still parses as an email so it looks to be fine to me. I think that option is for if you're trying to post emails, but it goes off and mistakes it as a member.

    Exactly. I was worried it would do that but it seems pretty happy to ignore it. Things are lookin' peachy.

    This is certainly an interesting system.
    With any luck, it will help keep interesting threads alive longer.

    Nope, evidently not.

    [MENTION=539]Harley[/MENTION]

    @Birdbirdbirdie Does it take a while to parse?

    HTML:
    [MENTION="ID"]text[/MENTION]
    This will work, but @tagging doesn't seem to?

    [MENTION=539]HarleyCyn[/MENTION] actually you can get by with just a name, this would be fine if the BB code shortcut was added to the quick reply toolbar - Could you do that [MENTION=1297]Tyro The Fox[/MENTION] ?

    It automatically works out the ID then.

    @HarleyCyn

    @testpony

    @mike406

    They aren't working now?

    An admin needs to check over the settings probably -- something was changed most likely.
