I have the box ticked to get a notification in my account (not email) when someone “mentions” me. This used to include a direct mention i.e. @(name) but also if someone quoted me.

Now it’s not doing it when someone quotes; only a direct mention. I find this is awkward because more often than not people quote my post but I consider that still a mention, if not more so

Is this intended? Is there a way round it?

This feature is important to me because I have difficulties reading all posts due to hypervigilance and distress triggers…however I like to know if someone has specifically made a post for me so I can make the effort to read it. I don’t like coming across as rude or dismissive if someone has taken the time to reply to me. However I don’t have the mental resources to read dozens or hundreds of potentially distressing messages that weren’t written specifically for me “just in case”

Thanks😊

Good morning @66Mustang.

I haven't encountered this as quoting usually works for notifications, it may be that it's changed in a recent update by our provider. I will try and look into it and let you know as soon as I have an answer for you.
