When people are talking, sometimes they want to address another user.

I suggest that we add a way for somebody to directly mention somebody else in the chat by clicking their username while in the chat. It would highlight the message for the mentioned person, making it more visible. This would not be intrusive for users, and would make it easier for messages addressed from one user to the other to be seen.

Maybe it could give you a little drop down when you click their name, with the choice to @mention them or visit their den? I suggest this method as many users have emojis or special characters in their name, which would make typing @username to them difficult and impractical and it would still allow people to visit people's den from the chat window. For people who don't like this function, a toggle could be added to disable mentions from highlighting messages and the drop down, allowing the click to just open the user's den.




This suggestion has 9 supports and 0 NO supports.

I support, but wouldn't that kind of be a method of spamming? Since I see everyone use it so much... if it were that striking it'd be hard to navigate kind of. If someone mentioned User1, and that were highlighted... then shortly after someone mentioned User2, etc. there'd be a lot of mentions and if someone were notified, they'd need to dig through the chat to find the right one. I support this, but I've seen mentions flood chat sometimes.

That's why I suggested that it just highlights the message to the user that is being addressed, without any audible notifications. If a user is actively chatting, or has a question, chances are they wouldn't have to scroll far and could check at a glance if somebody answered them, or notice the message right away. I think that would be a great way to do it without being annoying to other users or being intrusive.

Then, I agree 100%. I really do enjoy that idea.

I probably could have been more clear, but I am laying in bed with my phone trying to fall asleep LOL
