Not sure if this is available on this site?
As usual bear with me as im shit at explaining things.
Basically im on another forum, (car related) and like its quite busy like this forum. Plenty of newbies coming and going and I like to help out like I do here. I use the ' New Posts ' button to show me recent threads on here, or ones recently replied to that I have been involved in but sometimes some of these threads slip through the net on here and don't get noticed.
For example last night I could have been helping a newbie, replied to his/her thread, then this morning that newbie may have replied asking something else, but then I may have not seen it by the time I had logged on and it then gets forgotten about.
This @ mention feature is just like tagging someone in Facebook or twitter, so if on here someone wants to ask you a question or get your attention all they have to do is put in their thread or reply @ganjagunman or whatever the username maybe and then when I or whoever logs on next, a notification pops up at the top of the screen like it would if i had received a private message but instead of a message it would tell me that so and so had mentioned me in a thread or comment.
Just another thought !
