It previously worked with every name with the exception of those with punctuation/numbers

So @red @kyle @hoteluser @xxMATTGxx @scottish @richie worked fine

but @Alex3213 @Someonewitha. @Someonewitha- @Someone withaspace

Would require a ; to show the end of the tag.

Anyone with 3 characters in their usernames didn't actually get the mention. Hence why this thread was created in the first place. It linked up their profile but they wouldn't get a notification or show up on their profile until the hotfix was applied yesterday - But usernames such @Maggots linked up to users such as @Magg - For it to work for everyone I enabled the feature so it requires that the mentions need a semi-colon to work.

All you have to do is simply add a ; at the end of their usernames.

are you using a proper addon or still the one hoteluser done

Using a proper addon, the one HotelUser made is broken.

[scottish]

how is his broken (other than fact 3 letter names dont get notified as you mentioned above)

Are you using DBTech's as i'm pretty sure theirs works fine with just @username

No no no, the three letter names was the DBTech one. The semi-colon isn't to do with the 3 characters, it's to do with certain users such as Maggots would notify Maggs and not Maggots.

Oh so what was wrong with hotelusers one then

Fairly sure it was just straightforward and didn't even check the memberlist (so if you tagged @somethingstupidlikethis it would link to no profile page)

Also, wouldn't you be able to disable the forced semi colon and users able to use ; as normal

(i.e. before you could say @red for normal, or @red.mad.kyle; if it contained punctuation) assuming you've turned on an option to force ;

couldn't you disable it, and if i wanted to do @Maggots I would add ; at the end

So @Red would work, @red.mad.kyle; would work, @Maggots would tag magg or whatever, and @Maggots; would tag Maggots.

The plugin we are using at the moment only links to peoples profiles if they are an actual member on the forum. In terms of disabling the semi-colon and only putting the ; after maggots username for example - It wouldn't fix the issue and would still just link to maggs.

And the reason why it tags Maggot is because it's using:

[MENTION]Username here[/MENTION] 

and not the @.

All i'm doing is typing "@Maggots"

Yet if i type @Red @Richie @xxMATTGxx @scottish etc it doesn't link?

Well that didn't link. If I do @Maggots now it won't link at all or notify her.
