@downpw (and anyone else wanting to know how this panned out) - it's fixed. The full thread is here
Rename the references to the username
-
When changing a username
The mentions remain ownerless
I am asking for a plugin that solves the problem
That when the username changes, along with it The mentions change to the new name -
The idea can be improved
That when the previous name is mentioned, in the combination of @, the new name will be registered as a mention. -
On further thought
Allegedly this is related to a plugin that allows mentions by @
https://github.com/julianlam/nodebb-plugin-mentions
That's why I mention the @julian -
@chez please open this as a feature request against the mentions plugin GitHub repository
