Did I understand correctly that mentions and tags are the same thing?
Then wouldn't
and
achieve the distinction? (Except replacing the angled brackets with square brackets. It seems even the CODE tag doesn't "escape" square brackets)
EDIT: something I saw while previewing this post makes me thinks semi-colons might work too? e.g.
vs.
Then wouldn't
Code:
<mention>fly</mention> guy
Code:
<mention>fly guy</mention>

Code:
(at)fly; guy
Code:

Originally there was a "tag" box above the thread where you could add a username and they'd get a notification just as if you @ mentioned them. We turned that off, because it took up a significant amount of vertical space. But the "tag" stats are still in the system and can just be ignored.

I started getting it again as well... I also got one when opening a thread rather than just when I entered FT.
I do have an ad blocker, but because I'm an ambassador, I don't get ads anyway. But I turned it off for FT and I'm again getting the popup.

If you can, screen shot the popup and post it for me.

I am logged in, and accept cookies, but I do use Privacy Badger (from EFF) which attempts to block mostly third party trackers/cookies, which should not interfere with flyertalk or ad delivery, etc. It just blocks unrelated web sites from being able to track me. It's a great plug-in.
For example, the cookies blocked from this page include:
c.amazon-adsystem.com
securepubads.g.doubleclick.net
loadus.exelator.com
www.google-analytics.com
ajax.googleapis.com
www.googletagservices.com
www.google.com
b.scorecardresearch.com
mtrx.go.sonobi.com
You can see those are all unrelated to flyertalk.com. Any cookie that's directly related to flyertalk.com would be allowed on this site.
Do you know which cookie it is? I can look for it.

I also run a tracker blocker (not an ad blocker) and I don't intend to change it. If IB fixes their malicious practices and offers clean advertising, I will keep it on (assuming that the amount of advertising will be within the reason for a site where most value is created by the users not by the site).

I got it again today as well. It's the usual pop up, and I got it when I entered FT thru MyFT.
I didn't get a screen shot, because, well, it's the same one over and over again

I'm getting the pop up telling me about the new features multiple times a week at this point, including just now after refreshing a page I already had open. The features themselves are unwanted, I certainly don't need to be reminded of them 3 or 4 times a week.
Screenshot included, although surely not necessary.
