Quotes Should Notify The Person You're Quoting

Title explains what I want back from the forums.
When the forums first launched, this was already a thing and it was quite convenient! Can we have this feature back?
I'll @ some wholesome people, perhaps they might be able to explain a few things.

I agree with this would be way more convenient it is quite annoying to have to @ someone even after quoting them.
You mean, like this?

Yes, it's annoying, the @ feature is supposed to let forum users know who's talking to them. If I quote you, as I just did above, it should be obvious that I'm trying to talk to you. Therefore, you should get notified about this comment.
That's how Smashboards.com does it, don't know why it isn't the same for this.
I'm down for it.
I think it changed when we changed text format, I agree it's a bit of nuisance to have to constantly tag someone who you are quoting.
I'm not sure if there's anything we can do under this format right now, the last I heard was that Vanilla needed to implement something to make this happen - I will check up for you though and hopefully it's something we can sort out.

I appreciate the comment, thank you. 😍
Hi!
I will raise this question during our next meeting with Forum rep.
I agree, this feature was nice. I can't promise 100% it will be back, given new text formatting system we are using, but we'll see.
@Clyde
Any updates? :)
These past few days I've been getting notifications if people include me in a quote, so I think it's back
I really hope it's back!
