Hello Bav yes most 1.6 can be changed to work with 1.8
I try to limit the amount of plugins if possible as it save hassle in the future with updates to the software, but I'm always willing to see what others think.
But for me I would say it's not needed, if you look at the Second Left in the green panel when logged-in "View Unread Posts" it will show you all post you have not read. From there you can decide to read or mark as read.
Plugins put a little extra pressure on resources and increases vulnerability so I'm a little cautious, you did find the post and how often are people mentioned?
I would say it's not worth putting in, but if others think it would make it easier to find when you had been mentioned and you would be happy to receive a PM to say "You have been mentioned in a post" then please let me know and we could look at giving it a trial.
That was my official post, but my personal post is much the same to be honest.
#1 I would soon get fed up with getting PMs whenever any one mentioned me in a post.
#2 I usually go by the "view Unread Posts" and decide what I want to read.
#3 If I make a post about another member and they don't react, it doesn;t bother me as I think they missed it and if it was that important I would PM them and say Look At This.
#4 If we had a huge amount of members posting I could see how it may work but for the amount of mentions of Fred per day I think I will spot them.
As you can tell Bav I'm not keen myself, but thank you for the suggestion and I'm happy to see what others have to say.
