Please make use of the QUOTE/MENTION-Feature

[Hannah Stern]

Hello, all XDA-Users.

I know, most users know this, but not every XDA-Member…


I'd really like to say something here:

I truly see too many XDA-Users, that simply post something, without thinking about the fact, that somebody maybe overlook/misses your post.


Well, this is OK, but not, if the post is for a specific user.

If somebody wants to reply/say something to another user, without Quoting a Post of the user or mentioning somebody with @[Username]; the [Username] will not be notificated.
That will cause, that there's an extremely low chance, that [Username] will read the post. Maybe he/she looks at the thread at a random moment or recieves a private message etc. Maybe the Member is subscribed to the thread and takes a look randomlý.


But,
If you talk to somebody, please make use of the Quote/Mention-Feature

I'm saying this to anybody, who is a member on XDA-Developers.

[Quote="Username"]
Quoted Text [/QUOTE]

[MENTION]XDA-Member-ID[/MENTION] (mine is [B]6011384[/B]) or simply type @Username

I hope, everybody will use the QUOTE/MENTION-Feature in future if neccesary and i also hope, it helped.

Thanks to all XDA-Users.

I remember your signature once to have a text similar to the following one:
„If you want me to read your post, please either Quote/Reply to my post or type/paste @ИΘΘK¡€ in your post.“


Thanks for your reply

Many members actually forget to use Quote/Mention.

I think, it makes sense to put this into the Non-Urgent Forum rules.

I've seen another post, where Quoting/Mentioning isn't used.

@Hannah Stern, I believe this thread would be a better place for the recommendation you posted above - that way the mods can see it and consider it.

[MENTION]6011384[/MENTION] @Hannah Stern So it sends them a notification, yet the username doesn't become a clickable link?
And no problem if the username has spaces in between?

*Edit: The username becomes a clickable link, and it appears that spaces in the username isn't a problem, when using with @
Even if you use the @ option, it automatically changes to mention option which you can see by editing the post.

Also, the correct way to use the Mention option is

[MENTION=XDA-Member-ID] 'any text here, preferably the username, and without the quotes' [/MENTION ]

and not

[MENTION ]XDA-Member-ID[/MENTION ]

as mentioned in the original post.

Thanks to all XDA-Users.

It should be obvious to me, but it isn't - is there and quick icon to apply the mention tags, or do you have to type the whole thing in? Thanks

Edit: sorry I was tired when posted this. Penny dropped.. @thugslug
