Arrowchat 2.1 Chatroom @user

Am I missing something, is there a new setting to enable this?

After upgrading to 2.1 and clearing my browser cache @username does nothing on my website chat room.

You need to update your theme files for the new styling to be there.

ok I see it now, on the themes tab in the back end the red notification implies I must click the version number of the theme to give me the option to update the theme.
Thank you

I feel like an idiot, I still can't get it to work, and it does not work for me on the arrow chat website in chat room either.

You just type "@" with a username after it ?

[smr891]

ok so from what I can tell, it highlights for the person being tagged only. they are the only one to see it tagged as them.

I have a huge suggestion and this is what I expected from this feature, if you @ somebody and start typing then it knows the who is online list and should suggest names as you type it narrowing it down, basically like facebook tagging.

Not sure if you can do that or not but would be so much more awesome.

I can confirm this does NOT work with pop-out chat, with users who have a space in their name.

As far as i can tell, this seems to have something to do with the fact that even if your site uses jQuery already, pop-out links to its own copy of jQuery held in the /includes/js folder. When using that version of jQuery, usernames with spaces don't work. Updating jQuery causes an indexOf error, because the JS for the pop-out is not compliant with the latest version of jQuery.
