cool feature, strange that it worked in vivsters thing with the email address added to it, was it triggering as soon as it seen a complete username I'm just wondering if it would allow someone to post in a way that allowed for wildcards or multi notifications from something

@* would be fantastic for site wide announcements :D
@g*

The match ends with a space or punctuation (hence, why it's not working for Ka-pi yet. It worked for vivsters email, because he had his username followed by ".com" - that period ended the match lookup.

 

And, HELL NO!!! A community notification would be RIPE for abuse - no way am I doing something like that...  :(

So does it work for punctuation now? @Ka-pi96

Edit: Nope

Not yet - I'm still working on it. Not sure how the underscore works and hyphen doesn't, but I will figure it out...

Ah right so Ka-pi96's thing is terminating after the hyphen making the notification look for @Ka just

Cool feature though if people find a use for it and if it doesn't cause issues when people are trying to super abbreviate the All Terrain Armored Transports from Star Wars! or @@'s!
