This add-on enhances comment sections by allowing participants to directly mention other users and reference specific comments. It is designed for site owners who want to increase engagement and clarity in community discussions. When a commenter uses the @ symbol followed by a username, the system provides search suggestions and converts the tag into a clickable link. Similarly, using a # symbol followed by a comment ID references that specific comment. All tagged users and comment authors receive email notifications, prompting them to rejoin the conversation.

User Mentioning with @ Tags: Typing '@' in the comment field triggers a live search for usernames. Once posted, the tag becomes a link that displays a user info pop-up on hover and sends an email alert to the mentioned person.

Comment Mentioning with # Tags: Each comment displays its numeric ID for easy reference. Mentioning a comment by its ID (e.g., #17) creates a link that jumps to the original comment and notifies its author via email.

Email Notifications: The system automatically sends alerts to users when they are mentioned or when their comments are referenced. Administrators can customize the content of these emails and enable or disable notifications.

Guest Mentioning: The tool can be configured to allow mentions of users who are not logged in, expanding its use to include all participants in a discussion.

Administrative Control: Site managers have a settings panel to enable or disable individual functions, such as user mentions, comment mentions, and email alerts, providing flexibility for different community needs.
