Hi there, Our beta users are frustrated that it doesn’t seem possible to @ mention people in comments. Is there a way to enable this? Alternately, as I’ve noticed the meta Discourse seems to have disabled commenting entirely, how might this be achieved? Many thanks!

Are they enabled? [The image shows a settings interface allowing administrators to enable or disable the ability for users to mention or tag each other in their posts using the '@' symbol. (Captioned by AI)]

Yes, mentions are enabled. Users can mention one another in posts. However, they can’t mention one another in comments. [image] Here’s a screenshot of me trying to mention myself in a comment vs in a reply. The @[name] in the comment doesn’t become a mention. [image]

Yes, thank you @Moin . I didn’t realize that comments were an added feature of the Post Voting plugin. I have that enabled by default, so I thought the settings for comments would be found in Admin > settings, not in the plugin settings. I don’t see a way to make mentions available in the post voting…

You may need to make a feature request. Interesting though as would have thought mentions would work.
