As you can in Facebook. is this possible?

I'm mean so that the linked user gets a message. In long threads where posters dip in and out over extended periods this would be very useful.

Thanks.

All you can do now is this : @divegeester.

We could notify everyone who is mentioned (as above), FB style.

At the moment the link is to a profile.

I'm suggesting that the linkee gets a message saying that they were mentioned in a forum post, they can then perhaps click a link in the message which takes them to the post so they can easily reply.

For active posters this would make life a lot easier and help them track a specific conversation and bypass all the other dross if they want to.

Make any sense?

Edit: I think we are talking about the same thing.

I could hack it in right now, but unfortunately, I'm working on something else for next week - which I wont reveal in case I hit a "show stopping" issue before I complete it....

Always excuses. 😛

Sounds like it's a quick win though when you get time for it.

Thanks for supporting it.
