About:
This add-on provides useful user functions and options. Provide your members with additional username, thread, and post functions.
Changing usernames has never been this easy!

Post Install requirements

After installing, run the content mention rebuild tool:
php cmd.php xf-rebuild:sv-mentions
or
AdminCP => Tools => Rebuild Caches => "Rebuild content mentions"​

This is a slow process, but required to prevent erroneous duplicate alerts when a post with quotes/mentions is edited which was created before the add-on was installed.

As usual from xon, another very excellent addon. Users being able to uses mentions in edits and lock their own threads is essential for us!
Amazing addon with a lot of useful features for improving Xenforo as well as great support from Xon.
Fantastic addon as always from Xon, we haven't been able to live without it for years. Very quick to fix any issues!
A crucial part of my community. All of Xon's stuff is amazing and often times I see comments like "Why this is not in the core?" in relation to his stuff and I have to agree. Buy his addons, buy them now.
I installed it on first release and Xon fixed every bug I found right away. It is now perfect in every way for us.
