New Forum Feature: Mention Notifications
Hey, all -
I just pushed a commit that will alert you when a user in the forum mentions you (by using @ and then your username, like @JeffreyWay).
If you're currently browsing when the "mention" is left, then you'll immediately receive an alert (through Pusher). Otherwise, when you next visit the site, you'll find a notification count bubble next to your username in the nav bar.
If you notice anything odd, let me know. I'm sure there's a couple quirks that I missed. :)

First sign of madness is to mention yourself in a forum, isn't it @daveyoi?

There has been this one small thing that has been annoying me since the forum has been launched. There is no gap between the topic at the top (I know, it's a tiny thing, but ocd)

@bacondrinker That's a Twitter Bootstrap quirk when you use the tab pills in that specific distribution. I noticed it when I did the same for a site.
Level 59
Yeah - it's because they use display: table to align them properly. I'll see if I can work around that.

@JeffreyWay you could simply remove the border radius.
Sorry for the bad quality. https://www.dropbox.com/s/f9uj7hl732nbjo4/Screenshot%202014-08-22%2022.11.48.png?dl=0

@jgravois - Not right now, but I could do one. Mostly, it's a matter of storing an "activity" in a database table each time a relevant reply is left. Then, when they click on one of their notifications, behind the scenes, it sends an AJAX request to delete or archive the record.
