    Default Tagging in threads?

    Hey,

    Is there a way you can tag a user in a thread so it gives them a notification? E.g. like some other forums, you add a @ next to the username. Doesn't work here but maybe there's some other way.

    I don't think so. I think it would probably get messy between some users if you could. If it's really urgent, sending a PM usually works.

    Thanks. It's not urgent and this would be in addition to sending PMs. But thought, if they don't see/check the messages and depending on how people receive notifications, maybe they'd catch it sooner.

    I see what you mean, but I think it would also get abused/mis-used too much to be worthwhile. Some people are just harder to get a hold of

    Fair point. Yeah that's just the way with some members on here, and unlikely it would make a huge difference. Thanks.

    If you remember years ago we tried upgrading the forum software and it was a total disaster resulting in a rollback... user mentions were added as a feature in that version.

    I think that might have been before my time.
