We identified a wrinkle with user tagging today that I thought you would all benefit from hearing about, so you know how these work for future reference.
Basically, sometimes if you tag a user (@username) - called a User Mention in Xenforo - sometimes they receive an alert and sometimes they don’t.
I’ve done some research and basically this is the case. There are specific instances where no alert will be sent:

I’ve done some research and basically this is the case. There are specific instances where no alert will be sent:
- If you quote a user then tag them. The quote overrides the tag and as such that is the notification users will receive.
- If you edit a previous post to add a tag, no alert will be sent
- Or if we have limited the maximum number of tags to a smaller number than the number of tags a poster makes in a post, only the first few up to the limit will be notified.
