Hashtagging, Thread Tagging, Quote Notification

[Chaotix]

Why not keep everything, but allow one to choose whether or not he wants to receive the notifications in General Settings?

Currently it's possible to turn off notifications for PMs, but not other kinds.

Thumbs down to quote notification.

I agree.

@Sasaki Kojiro I would like to voice my agreement in the most obnoxious manner possible.

Thank you all very much for your input during the testing period. Quote Notification and Thread Tagging have been turned off, while Hashtagging remains active. Please do continue providing comments on the system.

Why's it called hashtagging anyway?

Since it uses an @ instead of a #, it's not technically a hashtag. However, it operates like a hashtag system and that term is relatively commonly used due to Twitter, so that's what I call it for ease of explanation. I guess it should technically be called user tagging, but I'll probably always refer to it as hashtagging, just because.

In principle a good idea. If it could be opted in/out based on a particular part of the board that might be good.

So it's an 'at' tag then.

"Hash tags" (or the "mention" thing or whatever they're called) don't seem to be working. I get informed that I'm not logged in when clicking on the tag or the notification. Looks like the session ID isn't getting passed across - if it's a hack, might be something gone awry. (I tested with Firefox with all extensions disabled and it's the same).

Hmm, it seems the Quote thingy was turned back on? Mistake? Or somewhere to opt out?

Apologies, the settings are enabled by default on newly created top-level fora. I forgot about that when I was implementing the re-organization, which resulted in the notifications showing up for some fora. This should be fixed now.

Thanks!
