Possible issue with @Mentions?

Wellwisher

The issue

Regular members get the following error message whilst attempting to @mention other regular members in composer:

"You do not have permission to do that."

However, when they "submit" the @mention post, the @mention notification is received by the intended user.

The issue is, that my flarum tells them that they dont have permission but it works. 😂 I am unsure if there's a "permission" that I need to enable or something in the admin panel?

Error Message that the user gets:
You do not have permission to do that.

Console shows the following error:

Wellwisher what's the permission "Search Users" set to? If this is not allowed for members, then this can cause the mentioned issue because the popup / autocomplete is not permitted to search for users.

GreXXL That fixed my issue. I enabled members to be able to "search users" and that's solved it. Thank you greatly!

I hope this issue is patched/ fixed? I don't want flarum using up sever resources to ping back a long list of usernames within their search query or encourage members to search for other members. But at the same time @mentions should be able to mention a user - it's a useful feature

I just want to be able to use the search bar function to search for content on the forum, and not the user. 🤨
