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?

:grin:

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)

Would probably require some phpBB extension or mod to the forum software

To the original poster: If you go to the board index page, you can click "view new posts" under the date an time on the left side. All new post submissions and replies will show up in that list. Most regular forum members will use this to see what's new new on the forum and will catch your post reply to them. If not, you can donate a dollar or 5 to the forum and send private messages

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!
