Twatter is good enough, and everybody knows what that means. Similarly every electronic engineer knows that HP is now called Agilent Keysight.

Because that has a mention and notification system which i came to like very much in another forum where i am quite active. The system helps me to keep better track.
And imporant for many folks here: The notifications are highly customizable. You can turn them off completly, you can turn them off for citations, for mentions, or for "watched" threads.

Hell no.
While the UI is in some ways better than SMF it fails to properly link old threads you have been active in.
SMF is far far better in this regard.

I have not seen that happen in the forum i am active in. I've been active there for more that 5 years now.
Or are you refering to the fact that visting old threads you have read partially at some point, instead of bringing you to where you left, it will open them on page one?
As far as i understood the technical admin there, this can be changed in the backend. They set it to 60 days IIRC, but they are a lot larger than the eevblog forum and want to keep the database size in check. But even then: If i get a notification that someone has posted in an old thread, clicking the notification always brings me to the correct post.

How could they opt out? Someone just puts a @ in front and you're @tagged - no way you can stop them doing that. Perhaps you meant opt out of notification of the tag. Subtle difference :)

Of course there's no way to stop that. Indeed I just did that in my previous post, although it took a little longer. Opting out of notifications is obviously what I meant. I don't see why anyone would complain if they can switch notifications about being tagged off.
