It works for me, I dont know why. I saw @tautech 's mention of @PlainName was not working so I posted another one. |

Anyone could easily write @tggzz in their post, the only difference would be the forum software having the ability to automatically create a profile link and notifying you, unless you have it switched off. It seems irrational to think everyone is going to suddenly start playing up, if such a feature were introduced. In reality, it will make little difference to those who have notifications disabled. --- End quote --- You seem not to have read all the points. I agree that not many people will suddenly misbehave, and that the notifications are (currently?) relatively unobtrusive. Even if that doesn't happen, the quality of discourse will be lowered by * choosing to reference people, which I find lacking in taste * avoiding referencing exactly what they said, thus being unclear and ambiguous. That is already happening, as I have noted. Fundamentally I dislike the way FarceBook and Twatter actively encourage superficial "engagement", and actively discourage considered exchange of subtle arguments. They do that using mentions and preventing quoting. |

@tggzzz That's a bit presumptuous of you. On the contrary. I have read all of the points. I just disagree with them. 1) That's just your opinion that referring to people is lacking in taste. 2) It makes sense, rather than quoting, if someone's made a short post and it should be obvious, when I refer to them, I'm referring to their most recent reply. 3) Implementing tagging will not turn this site into a social media platform. The quoting facility will still remain and we have a completely different user base. I also find unnecessary quoting takes up more space. It can make make the thread harder and more time consuming to read a thread. This thread is a classic example of this. |

I wonder if it's an ad-blocker thing, or the editor used - I think there are two ways to get into the editor when quoting. @PlainName - see if I can annoy myself :) [edit: not a chance] |
