Hi all, Is there a way to mention a user in a comment or post in the Gallery/Marketplace that sends a notification to the user when they're mentioned? Lots of forum engines do this and it would be cool to be able to do here (if the functionality is already here) Thanks!

I will post your inquiry in our issue tracker for a possible future feature update. Thank you for your suggestion.

Thanks CH- I didn't know if it was a feature already here. An example of a forum engine that uses mention notifications is the SMF forum software. https://www.simplemachines.org/

I could write a comment on the someone's post that refers to a user with the '@' symbol in front of their user name like '@Cobbler3D' and that user gets a notification saying they've been mentioned in post 'XYZ' etc.

Oh! I just realized this-

Since I am subscribed to this thread by creating it, I got an email notification that someone replied to it. However, I did not get a notice in my notification area in my Renderosity profile. That would be great to get forum notifications. Unless I totally missed a setting where I can get forum notifications in my Renderosity notification section and the feature is already baked in, just need to flip a switch....
