In the future (whooa) we will be able to see, and perhaps, be notified when someone mentions us or quotes us.
In the same way that Facebook allows you (apparently) to tag people into posts and images and they then get notified, so @pap will do the same.
That is correct, sir. We put in the very basic plumbing today, but what plumbing it is.
The āmentionableā concept will also not be tied to Sotonians users. We will shortly be adding off-Sotonians concepts, such as the football club, players, political parties, poster nicknames.
No other Saints site is doing this. Development on all other sites has been glacial for years. What weāve put in today gives us the hooks for a lot of other things, and while I can understand @rallyboy and @fowllyd mightnāt appreciate the functionality in its infancy, I think everyone will be pleased with what it enables long term.
Yeah, how are you going to handle pet names, how is @LouLouMySweet ever going to get its proper place on the forum??
You can edit the tag after youāve chosen the official name, @btripz .
If you were onto this, Iād never have beaten you to the punch addressing @coxford_lou as such.
There are rumours that the @pap in our midst will be producing an Also Known As section on profile pages, cataloguing the various monikers a poster has acquired.
