Is there a way to turn off the mentions list?

At this time, there is no way to disable mentions notifications on the forum. We'll look into implementing this in the future.

Agreed. Should be an option that we can control; otherwise, perhaps it needs to be fully disabled.

I have a question I hope is ok to ask. If anyone prefers to not answer my question, I will respect your choice.

Apparently the mentioner doesnt trust that you love them enough to come back to them without the mentioner demanding you do it immediately. WHY DONT YOU TRUST THAT I LOVE YOU???!!! I guess you could say it triggers some of us? |

Ok. I understand that. I hear what you are telling me.
For me, I need it because I struggle with remembering the titles and locations of the threads I have answered. My brain is working better than it used to but I still need the extra help. I don't have the email reminders set up because tons of emails does stress me out. Honeybunny, is someone pressuring you to respond? No one has the right to do that. You are in charge of your time. If somebody is not respecting that, they are in the wrong. __________________ "Love you. Take care of you. Be true to you. You are the only you, you will ever know the best. Reach for YOUR stars.

I think its just the difference between being new here and very very old here!
Plus its like the boy who cried wolf. I am not REALLY committed to anyone here IRL? BUT if i see a notification, i do take it as "online urgent", if there is such a thing. Im very weird and standoffish, yet surprisingly warm. Somebody suggested putting a request in one's description, but that isnt really prohibitive. |

I am guilty of using the @ symbol. I thought it was appropriate, or customary, but I am 45 and new to this online group thing. I saw others using it and followed suit. I can avoid using it, but maybe other people are doing the same unknowingly. Could there be a new sticky somewhere that suggests to not use the @ thing until there is a way to turn off mentions? Maybe this is a new online etiquette thing that needs to be addressed. I will stop using it if it helps. I cannot remember everyone's preferences or triggers to use it some of the time and not other times, but I can be consistent with not using the @ feature.
What do you think? |

BTW, I use the "Subscribed" button to find what threads I have responded to or started, which can be a replacement for mentions alerts as a tracker. Just a thought.

I thought of something we can try and see how it goes.

Does the mentions feature activate when we use the quote feature in our responses? Just curious. There is a way to quote without mentioning the user's name inside the quote, which is simply to delete the user's name until the (quote) stands alone (/quote). (Brackets would be used instead of parentheses.)

No, it doesn't activate. You have to use the @ followed by their member name for it to work. And it has to be EXACT!!! I learned that early on, LOL
