New mention by username plugin! (similar to Facebook)

New Mention Plugin!

I've just installed a plugin that lets you guys mention others here by tags and they will receive a notification about it, kind of like on Facebook. All you do is while typing a post, mention another by username using the @ character first, and as you type their username, a drop down box will appear. Select the person you want to mention and they will automatically be wrapped with the mention tags like this.

Code: Select all

[mention]username[/mention]

Make sure to spell their username correctly or it will not work and they will not receive a notification. It is not case sensitive. The drop down looks like this:

I'm gonna test it out now and mention some of you here, to see if it works.

Ok well happy mentioning! lol

What do you guys think? You like this feature? This way others will know when you've mentioned them and want them to know about it.
