Send Alerts When Editing a Message and Mentioning (Tagging) or Quoting a User

[Amaury]

Per this, I think it would be nice if when someone edits their message to quote or tag another user, it still sends them an alert as if you had quoted or tagged them when submitting the initial message.

All I can say is wait till the suggestion is implemented in the core. Or if it’s that important to you, hire someone to code an addon for you.

I add my voice to the chorus of support for this idea.

But, crucially, did you upvote it?

Coming from social media you expect this behavior, unfortunately. Where you click edit and can tag others etc. It really should be a function here.

How does one do that?

And @Ozzy47 thought the vote instruction days were over.

I knew that upvotes were not going to be any more intuitive than likes on the first post.

But it’s all we got for now.

A XF2.2 compatible version should be out in the next week or so.

Thinking about it it, but I can't justify it right just for this one teeny function I would want.

I hope this makes it into XF 2.3.
Not getting an alert when a mention is added to an edited post is deficient and illogical.
If not a fix to make it work, at least /account/preferences should have an information tool-tip explaining when mention alerts aren't received/sent.
