Yes, I did get a PM notification. But on MFO-1 I can get a notice (not a PM) either when someone adds a new post to a thread that I initiated, or wants to get my attention in a thread post by using the @Old_Joe symbol.
OK folks, I'm wrapping up this end for tonight. More fun on the morrow.
Thanks very much to all who help keep MFO going. I'm thinking that it's about time for me to make a donation to the cause... haven't done that in a while.
Yes, this is the MFO-1 result whenever someone invokes @Old_Joe within a post. It's interesting that this action produces different results over on MFO-2.
1. Icon colors for threads. Red or blue colors for threads that don't have new posts visually draw more attention than gray threads with new posts. To me, this seems flipped. IMO, threads with new posts should have colors such as blue or green. Threads without new posts can just be grayed.
4. To hide Off-Topic from "View New Posts" and "View Today's Post" indexes, you may have to make it semi-private or with restricted-access. It may also disappear from the Forum index and may be accessible only by a link to it that can be posted or bookmarked.

I @'ed you on MFO-2 a few hours ago and just did it again.
Let us know if it worked.

Now some 2nd order suggestions.

2. Seems that a plugin is required for tagging users,

Review the plugin library for other feature enhancements.

3. There are stars for members that probably also have default designations. That designation is customizable now. This may be reviewed.
