    Hi Mare... I've added a user tagging / notification system to PP. It has 3 main functions. First, it will allow mentions via the @ symbol (similar to FB and twitter). Next, it provides the ability to group posts by hash tag references. The hash tags that are created can be subscribed to by our members (also similar to the major social networking sites). And finally, it facilitates notification alerts to our members each time someone quotes them in a post. So for example, I've just quoted your initial post in this thread. My doing so has triggered an automatic alert to you that you've been quoted by me. You can turn off the alerts (if you like) by going to the bottom of your settings page.... at the User Tagging section on the left-hand menu bar, click on the Settings link. The default status for all tagging notifications is on... but you can toggle each one off individually on that screen.

    Hope this helps

    I turned off the alerts, at least I thought I did. Still getting them. Don't want them.

    Which type of alerts are you still getting, Dianne? And which of the boxes did you check mark?


    Below are the check box titles to disable email notifications:

    Disable Mention Emails

    Disable Thread Tag Emails

    Disable Quote Emails

    Disable Hash Tag Subscription Emails


    And as for the notification alerts you receive while you're logged in (i.e., the ones that highlight the word "notifications" in black at the upper right-hand corner of your screen), the check box titles for disabling those are as follows:

    Hide Mention Alerts

    Hide Tag Alerts

    Hide Quote Alerts

    Hide Hash Alerts


    Did you put a check mark in each of those boxes?


    EDIT: Oh, and I forget to mention... you have to click on Save Changes after ticking the boxes, too

    I just did what Nick said. I really do not know which specific one. Sorry. I just like it the way it was. Simple.

    I understand wanting it to be simple. If you tell me which alerts you don't want to receive, I can tell you exactly which boxes to place a check mark in and save . And BTW, Nick is the one who recommended this modification to me . It seems we have a group of members who like the mod and another group who do not

    I like knowing if people have mentioned me or commented using alerts.

    Thanks Mr. Peepers (siggy)

    Well, Nikki, the mod definitely has its benefits. It starts out with everything enabled and lets each member disable as many of the alerts as they wish. I think it may be a matter of everyone realizing how to do that, though. I can certainly understand how it must be for those who may have felt content with things as they were... and then suddenly found themselves bombarded with alert messages everywhere. That could be quite irritating in some cases . We simply need to get everyone familiar with how to customize their alert settings

    Thanks for sharing your opinion
