User Mentions Improvements by Xon 2.8.2

Improvements to XenForo's user mentions system.

This addon is does not handle super-large group membership well.

Features:

• Mentionable user groups.
  • Customizable icon per group (small + large).
  • Membership can be viewed on the front-end.
  • User group may be private, at which point only members can tag or view that group.
  • Permission to tag taggable groups.
  • Admin privilege to view all taggable groups.
• User group mentions supports the following:
  • User profile posts/comments.
  • Posts/Threads.
  • Reports
• Opt-in, send an email to the user who is mentioned/quoted:
  • global option to enable/disable.
  • permission to receive mentioned emails.
  • configurable default for users on account creation.
• Editor integration. Copying & pasting a user group tag link is transformed into @usergroup
• User mentions can be disabled per forum per user group

See my add-on Username Restrictions to prevent users signing up using a usergroup name.
