    One major improvement I would love to see is the ability to tag people in posts by doing "@TheirName". When they get tagged, they get a notification with a link to the post they were tagged in. I feel this would increase activity by letting people have better conversations on the forums. There's an app for this for IPB I believe as well :p

    Just did some research, found that it's a hook called "Mentions" (found on WF, no longer on IPS marketplace for some reason :|)
    Also discovered that this feature would be natively built in to IPB4.

    When you quote someones post it sends them a notification of it. I haven't received a notification of that in a long time though, I will mention it to the Admins.

    That's not a function in IPB though, I think you're mistaken.

    Not really understanding what you mean, "its not a function." When someone quotes your post you get a notification of it, I do remember. As of recently they haven't been sending anymore.

    There's not a way to actually get an actual notification when quoted. I think however if you have the option set that sends notifications from XPG to your email, then it may send you quote notifications. Not sure though :|

    Nah there use to be a notification and it read "Username has quoted your post." I haven't gotten one of those in days nor do I know how it was set up or what it is/was but there for sure use to be one.

    Yeah, here it is. They must not just be sending anymore http://prntscr.com/62e5gn
