I just tried to use mention, both by using @ and [ mention ] [/ mention ] and its not working. I get an error message saying I can't use BB code: mention.

Looks like a permissions error. Ill look into it. It is strange though because several other people have used them already.

Looks like your specific permissions did not allow its use. That is strange I wonder how many other people have the same issue. It should work now.

Nice stuff @swrider! I was thinking a feature like this would be grand a couple of days back! Impressive telepathic abilities 🤔

Thanks for putting in the work to keep improving.
