Tag another member?
Is it possible to tag another member in a post so they are notified? This is possible on some other forums I am on and I think it'd be helpful here. For instance, if you see a watch on sale that someone else previously expressed interest in, tagging them would be easier than having to go back and quote their original post about wanting that watch.
I wish that watch were 38mm?

Re: Tag another member?
I'm not sure if the base software allows this. I'll research to see if there is an add-on that allows it.

Re: Tag another member?
[mention]Boourns[/mention], the tagging system is now live.
To use it, start typing the username prefaced with @ and a drop-down should popup with a list of names matching what you are typing. You can also enclose the username in [.mention][/mention] bbcode (remove the preceding . ).
You may have to go to your User Control Panel notification settings to enable the notification. Once you do, notifications will appear next to the bell symbol in the menu bar, or in your email (if you select that option).

The drop down just takes a second to show up. Thanks for adding this so quickly. This can definitely be put to good use.

Any orphaned @'s will prevent the drop down from popping up. In that case, enclose the username in the mention bbcode.FTE wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2019 1:20 pmManOnTime wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2019 1:16 pm The tagging system is now live.
