Hi everyone! It just hit me that all mentions go gray, so a user’s own mention might go unnoticed if it’s in quite a large list of mentions (sometimes it happens): [image] It would be really convenient to have your own mention colored differently, like in Slack: [image] Is there a solution, or …

The mentioned user (as you’d expect) gets a notification anyway so they’d be able to see if they’ve been mentioned. I’ve never missed a mention notification. Users can also see all their mentions here https://your.discoursesite-name/my/notifications/mentions

Thank you, @ondrej ! It all sounds reasonable, but I just had a situation the other day when a user didn’t realize they were mentioned as their username was “user99999” :slight_smile: Probably it’s quite a rare case, but still, it would be nice to have one’s username stand out in a post.

[image] Highlighting current user and bots in posts ux Meta will soon be running an experiment where your own username and bots usernames are highlighted to stand out more in the content: [Screenshot 2024-08-15 at 15.42.27] [Screenshot 2024-08-15 at 15.43.38]

All mentions are grey, including my own
