No - the @ ping only is coded to alert one person from a single comment.

In practice, I've used the [chat] link to draw more than one person into the main chat room (or made a custom room) to discuss a post whenever I felt I wanted to get several people's attention.

At that point, I could @ping each of them on one chat line and not pollute the comments thread with too much discussion.

That being said - I'll send this feature request to the main meta where all sites can weigh in since all share a common code base. The fastest route to this change would be to build consensus on meta.stackoverflow.com rather than a child meta.

  • I appreciate it would have to be a feature of all SE sites & not just AskDifferent. But if it is quite straightforward to implement, it could prove to be very useful

  • Whichever you think would be best ?
