Personally I think a way @mention a user would be more useful than quoting any text. I never really liked the way the quoting works and personally think even with the scroll-able quoted content - as pointed out by 2Scoops you are still loading all these additional quoted images etc. they are just being compressed into a scroll-able area.

I would prefer to do say:-

"@Keeno, did you see @Bulls latest video?"

and have to forum send notifications to both Bulls and Keeno without needing to quote any existing text.

What you think?

I need to test if it correctly sends a notification etc.

Apparently there are some teething problems so if everyone can see if it works for at least showing the popup.

What should happen is that you type an @ character followed by the persons name and after a couple of characters it should show you a list of possible matches:-
