As suggested by @charliem (https://aluminumcamperforum.com/index.php?action=profile;u=207) I have installed the Mention Mod! When you want to mention someone simply type @ and start typing their user name and it will prompt you with suggestion!

You can modify your notification preference in profile -> mention -> settings

Good!
Testing tag function @charliem
Does not seem to work for me. I don't see the underlined tag and I don't find any "mention" options in my profile settings. I did receive the email notification from Paul's tag message. Still looking.
Should I be able to tag myself as a test? @charliem @Paul . Must have something turned off.
Same here, @charliem. The email notification works, but I don't see a way to modify any settings and I received only one notification in "messages".

Merlin,
As you can see in the quote your @charliem tag you sent does not show up as a tag when I receive it. It also did not trigger an email as Paul's do. The tags from Paul look much like an underlined link. I'm wondering if Paul has to authorize all users access or if it is set to only allow him to tag. I tried researching the online help and the SMF website but couldn't find any reference to the mention/tag function. Try tagging me directly and separately and I'll watch for it. A really neat function if it works.
@charliem (https://aluminumcamperforum.com/index.php?action=profile;u=207) This is the mod I am using https://www.smfpacks.com/mentionsmod/ I opened a ticket with their support to have help. It seem like it's only me that can use it
@charliem (https://aluminumcamperforum.com/index.php?action=profile;u=207) and @Merlin (https://aluminumcamperforum.com/index.php?action=profile;u=42) there was a permission missing. Can you both try again
Paul,
I thought it might be something like that. Here's a new try.
@Paul (https://aluminumcamperforum.com/index.php?action=profile;u=1) @Merlin (https://aluminumcamperforum.com/index.php?action=profile;u=42) @charliem (https://aluminumcamperforum.com/index.php?action=profile;u=207)
The popup comes up when typing Merlin and charliem but not for Paul. I'll see if the email notification works.
I can now set email and/or PM notification for tags in my profile settings. Getting closer, Paul.
@Paul (https://aluminumcamperforum.com/index.php?action=profile;u=1) and @charliem (https://aluminumcamperforum.com/index.php?action=profile;u=207) , I'm now getting both a message and an email when tagged and the auto fill works for your forum name when I start typing with the @. Looks like it's working!
I see @DavidM (https://aluminumcamperforum.com/index.php?action=profile;u=8) and @FastEddieB (https://aluminumcamperforum.com/index.php?action=profile;u=177) are both on this morning so I'll test it with them too.
Yes, it does seem to be working. Great fix for an early Sunday Morning. stay warm you guys.

Unless I can block the notification by email that I get every time I am mentioned, which as far as I can tell right now I can't, I am very opposed to this mention mod. It is way too intrusive.
I belong to and actively participate in a 8-9 forums like this one. My mailbox would quickly fill up if they all sent me an email every time my name was mentioned. Yeah I am bragging a bit. But I am an active contributor on all of these.

David,
No problem for you popular forum guys. First, the poster has to intentionally tag you by adding the ampersand to your name. Casual use of your login name without the ampersand will not generate a tag. Second, you can chose to either receive or not receive emails and/or PMs in your forum profile setting. Go to Profile>Mentions>Settings and turn them both off if you prefer. I like the feature because I can alert someone I think may have a better answer than I can provide.
OK, I see how I can turn off mention related emails in my profile. Done.
Thanks,
David

Wow, actively contributing to 8-9 forums is definitely bragging territory. I'll make sure not to tag you in this one.
