Are you getting notifications when other members quote you in the forum?
-
I noticed I no longer get notified when someone quotes me, and this is bugging me. I made this topic so other members can say if they've noticed the same thing, or if they haven't noticed and are curious to try it, we all find out together
-
I was fairly sure I got one a short while ago, and that I was quoted rather than responded to. But I became less sure as I wrote that sentence, so I've changed "am" to "was". I got a comment up-voted a couple of times, and that might be what I'm mistaking.
I'm one of those members who has been on the site for ages, but only recently got access to the forum - at least to actively participate - when someone found exactly the right sized hammer to hit the troublesome piece of code with.
I'm going to annoy you by adding @ianfontinell to the next few comments I leave.

if you mention me explicitly i will get a notification, so yeah it will annoy me for sure, not your action but the fact that this works but quoting doesn't.

@ianfontinell I may be getting confused. Is "quoting" different to "mention"? I assumed quoting was when all or part of what a person wrote is included as a precursor when you are replying to a comment. So arguably you're not getting notified because you were quoted, you're getting notified because someone replied to you.
If there was a third person in this thread and I replied to them, I assume you wouldn't get notified. But if I copied your text including your name, or wrote ' @somename said "Only on Thursday's, if it's raining" ' then, whilst grammatically I'm quoting it's technically a mention, in comment terms.
Should I just be quiet and go find my meds?

this is a quote @kevin4fm
you will not get a mention notification because it's inside a quotation. Before the forum update, you would get a notification "this person quoted you in this post" now it's not happening
-
@ianfontinell Got it. And only now, of course, do I see the clearly marked QUOTE button, right next to REPLY.
So if I was replying to @someone, using the REPLY button but wrapped your comment...
@ianfontinell I noticed that I no longer....
...as a quote, you would previously have been notified of that but now don't seem to be. And that's different to me just writing within normal comment text that " @namewithheldfornon-annoyancepurposes said he no longer gets... ". That's a mention which, I believe, you would get notified about.
Found my meds, btw, so I'll be quiet now, and go sit in a corner for a bit.

Is there a notification from this quote?
-
@kalayaan yes, I got a notification for it, just the bare bones for now but at least it is working:
Thanks for the quick fix
