Could you add an @ to poster’s name in quote posts please?

Or is the person you’re quote-replying to notified anyway?

Am just testing this for you, to be absolutely sure...

Actually I do know the answer to this. And the answer is no - people aren't automatically notified if someone quote-replies to them.

The fact is, not everyone will want the person they're quoting to receive an @ notification. They may be right there on the thread, in which case they don't need to be notified. Or it could be that someone's quoting a post but not wanting any direct response, in which case it would be a bit annoying if there was an automatic notification.

So it'll have to be a manual @ if you want to get someone's attention, we're afraid. Sorry!

Hi again

Just letting you know that as there's now another thread with several more of you asking for this feature, we've gone back to our Tech team who've said they've added this to their product suggestions list (with the option to turn the @ notifications on or off for quoted posts, as per other @ notifications).

We'll be back with more info as soon as we can.

@EasilyDelighted

Could you make the notification like an app notification, or in your MN inbox rather than sending an email? I might be more inclined to opt back in to @ if that were the case.

We've added this request to the Tech suggestion list.
