Tagging Users

[ZeldaDad he/him]

Ok first I'd like to say I'm not nearly as active as I was years ago so someone please let me know if I'm off base here and this has already been addressed or implemented and I will cease and desist.

 

I think a useful feature would be to tag other users in a post and have it notify them when this happens. It would be a good way to alert someone of a topic they may be interested in and might not have seen, or even to draw attention to a certain post in a long stream that may otherwise get overlooked by the intended recipient. Anyway, I just thought about it and figured I'd mention it. The site is great and I love it here and I lurk all the time. Thanks for all the hard work, guys.

, the link function is already in place, but I don't know if that gives a notification.

This is an interesting idea, and yeah the linking to user pages is there but I doubt it does any notification, though it's a very good suggestion.

To my understanding, the next time we update the software for 17th Shard, this will be a feature. Until then, sadly not.

Such a system would make it easier for me to perpetuate the impression of my omniscience...
