I think he means like a link to an Email addy......so a name shows up as a hyperlink.
I am not seeing that capability on this site.

He means like twitter mentions and stuff, where a person is notified by email when someone mentions their username..

example:

@diymirage Powerband cuts out at half throttle?! Previous owner cut wholes in the intake boot for more power?

lol, I figured this might be a late payback from my april fools sale
I'd like to believe I can take it as well as I can dish it out


but in all seriousness, I did not get an email, does that mean it didn't work ?
or are we not actually trying...im still not sure what he wanted (the twitter example didn't help)

Just doing a blank quote would have the same effect right?

There was a mod to add this, but the author of said mod has abandoned development, and it is unsupported as of several years ago. If I see a new release of a similar mod I will look at implementing it.

Thanks!
