Anyway to fix this?

Same problem for me. :(

IBJoel, I think you guys should start from scratch and rebuild FT. So many tech issues since COVID.

It's in your "Mentions" tab in your public profile

NB: "My Recent Posts" should really be titled "My Recent Threads", since it returns a list of threads where one has recently posted.

Along the lines of picking up the phone to see if someone is calling you?

For some reason, both the mobile and desktop versions have now stopped showing me if I have been quoted in a thread. It used to be under the Bell icon. Where's it gone?

It’s dead. :( The June 6th update removed it. See earlier posts in this thread.

I know where it is, but what I was trying to say is that no one had actually used it to “flag” me since the demise of the quote notifications, so as a replacement it clearly isn’t working. I even encouraged the use of this feature in my signature for about two weeks… didn’t help.

I'm one of the people who mentioned you, and I did it because you encouraged use of mentions, and it was a nuisance. It had a shallow learning curve, and it doesn't take long, but it's an extra step that's easy to forget and shouldn't be required. You are absolutely correct that it doesn't work as a replacement for quote notifications.

"Here's an idea, let's remove a functional feature and require the entire user base that contributes to the forum to learn a new, manual procedure when posting. And by the way, that user base also needs to learn a different manual procedure to see if anyone else has learned the first procedure."

In post #90, it was suggested that mentions could be used temporarily while a fix for quotes was being implimented.

IBJoel is the plan still to reimpliment the Quote feature and if so is there an aproximate timeline on that fix?

Regards

Thank you. Yes, I saw and your mention appears in my screenshot. It was shortly after I posted in this thread on 6/30 at 4:40am that the feature isn’t a good replacement :) You were the only one who used it “on me” after the quote notifications died an early and unexpected death.

Yes to the first question, no to the second

I cannot see a way to delete this Private Message (PM), unlike all other previous PMs.
:confused:

Does this inability to delete the tracking reports mean they could fill up my PM Inbox such that I won't be able to send any more PMs? :eek:

To be safer I have change my Tracked Keyword Alert from Daily to Weekly. . . .

I suppose, to be really safe, I could change the notification method from PM to e-mail, if we cannot find a method to delete the PMs such that they don't fill up my PM Inbox.

Is there any information on deleting the Tracked Keyword Alert (Weekly) PMs?

I'm not certain what method you're using to delete your other PMs, but I could delete the Keyword ones no problem.

Check the box to the right of the PM (while looking at your general inbox)
Scroll to the bottom and click "delete" from the drop down menu

Why is the quote feature permanently removed? It was so useful!

His "yes to the first question" response indicates to me it's not permanent. Question was "is the plan still to reimpliment(sic) the Quote feature".

In my Android phone the general inbox does not have boxes to check at the right of each PM.

Instead, there is a "garbage can" Delete symbol within each PM to delete it.

However, for my Tracked Keyword Alert PMs there is no Delete symbol. :(
