  • Hi, ron.

    We had to disable a number of site features this summer, including the reply-to function, because they seemed to be causing software conflicts and serious site stability problems. The "who's online" plug-in suffered the same fate.

    Since hiring an outside problem-solver to work with our databases and reducing the number of plug-ins, we'd had dramatically better performance: we'd been seeing an outage a day, admittedly often at 1:00 a.m., and now we're seeing barely one a month.

    For what that's worth,

    you can click quote if it is that important to show what the original author said. Otherwise using what @JohnChisum said will notify the person on the other side of the @ that they have been "mentioned". Settings preference whether you get email or an on-screen notification or both can be modified in edit profile edit preferences.

    but if you re-edit message and then add the @JohnChisum they don't get the mention. Has to be done in your initial unedited post.
