Mention - Like in Facebook one can mention any user using '@'. This is already possible using mention notifier plugin but one has to write the username exact (no popup selector)

Thank you Kai. Right moment to do it :)
by
Hey Kai! Just glanced at the code. Probably I missed it but is the plugin performing the point update after changing owners?
by
Good point, no, it is not. We actually should use q2a-built-in-functions to do all those changes... feel free to help out :)

User blocking user.

A user block another user from sending private messages, answer your questions or comment your answers.
by
Not a plugin but this allows blocking of a user to send private mesages to a specified user.

In qa-include/pages/message.php

//change this   
    if ($handle === $fromhandle) {
        // prevent users sending messages to themselves
        $qa_content['error'] = qa_lang_html('users/no_permission');
        return $qa_content;
    }
//to this   
    if ($handle === 'Bluegenel' AND $fromhandle === 'user' OR $handle === $fromhandle) {
        // prevent users sending messages to themselves
        $qa_content['error'] = qa_lang_html('users/no_permission');
        return $qa_content;
    }
   
$fromhandle 'user' is blocked from sending private messages to Bluegenel

change 'user' to the handle of an actual user.
by
Very good! Thanks.

It would be interesting to have some improvements.
For example: Show who user voted for each option of search.
