OK then. I'd still like to be able to NOT have @mentions bump my YOUR NOTIFICATIONS number, if possible. Or is that just part of the plumbing?

You can disable that via the disable option- are you currently getting subscribed thread notifications? If you disable one, you'll disable both, I'm afraid (in the top right of the forum that is).

Just going to test @Adam one more time...

What about usernames that contain a space? Is there, or could there be a way to @John Doe without the space making it unintentionally tag "John"?

Obviously it won't work - but the quote notifications will!

Great suggestion guys, I used this new feature to invite a subject matter expert into one of my recent threads, worked like a charm.

@jeffshaddix - works perfect to get specific users involved in a thread, I have also done it...
