Addon to alert a fellow user to a post?

[BIG LLC]

Is there an addon that simply lets one user alert another user to an existing post or thread?

At the moment the options seem to be to start a conversation or reply with an @ to the other user.

You can Share with other platforms, or copy the URL in the Share this post feature.

A simple Share With User option would be very helpful I think.

That's what @BIG LLC does.

Yes to the above, but

or reply with an @ to the other user.

if you are looking for a way to share it without an @, you could share your bookmark with them with this add-on:

I've got two paid add-ons which kinda help with this;

Thread Starter Alerts

This is a formally private add-on, which has been used on Sufficient Velocity and Space Battles for nearly 2 years now. For watchers of a thread, send alerts when the Thread starter/Original Poster replies to their thread with a post above a...

Watched Threads Filtering

XenForo 2 removes the unread view from the watched thread list, but adds filtering in various other places. Watched threads backups When a mass watched threads deletes happen, a backup is created Prompts users to restore if there is an empty...

xenforo.com

Thread starter alert adds;

• Add "Followed user" alerts support for Watched Forums
  • Per-forum user opt-in
  • Send an alert/email when a user who is followed posts a new thread

Then with watched thread filtering, you can set the default per-user-per-forum watch state, which can be "New threads by followed members" rather than just "New threads".

User Mentions Improvements by Xon

Improvements to XenForo's user mentions system. This addon is does not handle super-large group membership well. Features: Mentionable user groups. Customizable icon per group (small + large). Membership can be viewed on the front-end. User...

This add-on allows mentions by groups, but also alerting users by email when quoted or mentioned

Sometimes an alert is not enough as it would assume the member logs in often. This add-on will additionally send an email is a member gets tagged in a post:

Yes, that's a given.

But I'm talking about an alert without having to post. A Share Post option.

That's a convoluted method.

I am talking about a simple "Share with User" option.

One or two taps.

That's what @BIG LLC does.

Yes, that's what I was referring to here:

At the moment the options seem to be to start a conversation or reply with an @ to the other user.

Something in this pop-up maybe:



Another text box like

"Share with user: [______________]"

 

[beerForo]

The copy link button is under your example. Click that, and then click their name to send it to them or post it on their profile page.

Yes, that's one way to do it. But that is a longer route with more hurdles to sharing and returning to the thread.

A mobile friendly, low friction way would be a readily available, simple Share With User option right within the page.
