@robkk, i believe i typed in the mentioned user name correctly, as after topic/reply is posted, the mentioned user name turned into a correct profile link.

i have a account in buddypress forum, do you want to try it out? like i tag you in a reply and see if you receive an notification?

Hi @Robkk,

one correction,

the notification does not work if I mention someone in forum reply or in a forum topic.

Notification works for when i mention someone in buddypress activity streams.

maybe what you said is true
“It might be expected behaviour since their might not be functionality for notifications if the @mention is in bbPress forums.”

i just wanted to double check if thats the case, if bbpress doesnt support “mention” notification as yet, then its okay, i wont bother.
However, if bbpress supports mention notification and somehow doesn’t work for me, i would like to find out why.

thanks

okay, i tried the following:

tag user in BuddyPress Activity, user could receive notification
tag user in bbpress forum post/comment, user could not receive notification

it seems like tagging user in forum does trigger notification, can anyone here confirm if this is expected behaviour?

if i want to trigger notification when user is tagged in forum post/comment, what should i do? thanks

thanks for the reply.

i am already using the built-in buddy press notification component.
and i could receive the bubble notification when someone reply to my post or comment, just not when someone @me.

so i guess the built-in buddy press notification component doesnt support @user notification. i will check out the link you gave above, thank you!
