@everyone
In this post I'd like to explain the difference between a Forum "Mention" and "Quote". Below each message you will see two distinct buttons one for a "Mention" the other a "Quote".

A quote is a simple way to reply to someone within the same thread or on the same page of a conversation.
However, let's say you needed to reference a post across different/multiple threads. This is what a mention is for.
A mention will not only link to that post within yours, but will also place a small reference under the post being mentioned so that way users can easily travel to and from the mention.
It is recommended to only use a mention when the post you are referring to is either on another page or in a different thread.
If the post you want to mention is on a separate page (which likely it is) or you want to mention multiple posts you can simply copy the ids from the top of any post and place it in yours.
If anyone has questions, feel free to them in the Community Forum https://www.renderosity.com/mod/forumpro/?thread_id=2893160msg2893160!
Have a creative day!
