@Mention as a quoting replacement

Post by Minty »

I have added a small extension to allow mentioning someone rather than having to quote a full post of text or having to edit down a quoted text into a sensible manner.

Basically you can now just 'mention' someone by using the '@' character and typing the persons name,

this will show a list of possible matches:-

Selecting a name will change the text to red

and the person will be notified of the mention:-

This should make it easier to keep a conversion without quoting the masses of images etc.

Let me know if it works / or doesn't work etc.

I take it that it will only apply to people who use mobiles, as I've never been notified when mention has been used.
