    How about alerting a member that he has been mentioned in a message. It is like the one which seen in facebook and all. It would be a greater ( to my opinion) tool if someone wants to ping some to see the message or thread.

      How would you suggest that is implemented. If I said "POH" then people know who I mean, Pete O'Hanlon. If I said "The Drunken Ocker" it would indicate Michael Martin. #1 is Chris Maunder. I am refered to as DD. There are names, nicknames and insults that refer to people.

          I have seen same functionality in facebook , while we mention others in message we gets an alert through mail. In CP ,let the user gets alerted if the user's profile url is mentioned as a hyperlink in the message!

                              As long as it is funny and it makes others laugh "with me" and not "at me". :)

                                    Ya I know its not FB. Its only a feature from FB like applications and I thought it will be worthy in CP. As we are not following each and every threads and we are only get alerted to the direct thread activities to which we started or participated we misses other threads we are supposed to answer or participate. Its only a suggestion

                                      It's an interesting suggestion and while I'm not keen on the exact form you suggested, we are working on something that may work just as well.

                                        How would you suggest that is implemented. If I said "POH" then people know who I mean, Pete O'Hanlon. If I said "The Drunken Ocker" it would indicate Michael Martin. #1 is Chris Maunder. I am refered to as DD. There are names, nicknames and insults that refer to people.
