Mention System Feedback and Bug Reports

svetius · Apr 18, 2013

We just went live with a great new feature on XDA to help users keep track of who quotes and mentions them. You can read about it here.

Use this thread to provide feedback and report any bugs you experience with the new system.

FAQ:

Q: I hate this. How do I turn off all emails and notifications?
A: Go here and check off: hide mention alerts, hide quote alerts, disable mention emails, disable quote emails.

Q: I kind of like this. I only want certain people to be able to mention and quote me. How do I do it?
A. Go here and check off either "enable mention restrictions" or "enable quote restrictions". Then add people to your friends list that you only want to be able to mention or quote you. Boom.

Q: I love this. XDA rules. I don't have a question.
A: :highfive: :good:

Just fixed a small bug where you would get both a mention and a quote email if you were mentioned and quoted. It will only send out one quote email.

This is great! @conantroutman and @M_T_M will be so pleased!

Shame it only works on the new theme, though. Ah well. It's a cool feature anyway!

What about the fact that if you're quoted you still also get the standard email notification too?
Just to be awkward...

Hmm, I had thought about that, but I thought that if you follow a large thread with lots of replies you may still want to be notified if you are mentioned explicitly.

First post updated with some handy FAQ action.
