Do yawl like the mentions function, yes or no? Would you like to share why or why not?
Also, for those of us who prefer to not be mentioned, what are ways to keep track of that to not accidentally offend or tick people off? I'm a google girl and I could keep a list on an email I send to myself. That way, I can get to it on any device I use. Ok, that said, Mention or no mention? __________________ "Love you.

As mentioned in the other thread:
Yes, if you're asking me a question or would like me to comment on something in the thread, especially if I haven't posted or only lightly posted in that thread. Otherwise, I'll probably miss it. |

I don't subscribe to the threads I reply to. So if someone comments on a reply I
wrote it's unlikely I'll see it unless they "mention" me. __________________ "I may be older but I am not wise / I'm still a child's grown-up disguise / and I never can tell you what you want to know / You will find out as you go." (from: "A Nightengale's Lullaby" - Julie Last) |

personally, no. I don't like it
first of all: it causes me problems logging in and using the site (only when I have been mentioned though.) second: I think it's too similar to facebook/twitter, where you can just mention a user in the comments (and though this is also a social forum, it's not facebook or twitter.) third: their's the ability to quote a part of (or all of) a post, so you could easily just type out the name of the user, quote the part of the post, and then your comment afterwards and if all that fails.. their's still the visitor messages in the person's profile where you could leave your comments I personally love the visitor messages. I know I always say I don't want this site like a copy of facebook/ twitter, but having people comment when they visit your profile is kinda awesome |

I like using the "mention" or tagging function bc I like to know someone responded to me and also to let someone know I was responding directly to them. I think it helps give clarity to comments to direct them to whomever you are responding. I know we can do that without that @, but I do like it. However, it would be nice to be able to turn it off, as I know getting those notifications can trigger people. Sometimes being tagged is triggering to me, so, just like Facebook, it would be nice to be able to turn off certain notifications. I'm not sure if that's possible or not. I haven't checked.

I try to pop back to threads I post in, but I also have a limited attention span. 🤷*♀️ __________________ "There is no great genius without some touch of madness." |
