tagging users in posts?

[beth]

a feature i've seen on a fair few other forums is the ability to tag other users in yr posts twitter/facebook style. so for example if i put @Publicised then i would get a notification saying i had been tagged in so and so post.

i think it's a nice little feature, and i think it would be used quite often? i often see in posts people saying "oh you should ask ____ they'd know about this" especially in query threads (technology/habbo/even feedback).

i don't think it's that much of an advanced feature? i dunno, i just thought i'd see if other people liked the idea ha!

[Hopeless]

yea, i've also seen it on other forums i use and find it useful. one thing that would be a must though if it was added would be the option to disable notifications because the more popular people on here will constantly be tagged and it'll be annoying as hell for them. for me.. dont care because nobody would ever tag me. gr8 idea bethay xo

I saw this on clubhabbo and i didnt really like the look of it. it's a forum, not twitter.

[Blinger]

yep, i like this feature. forumlol uses it.

No, it actually is REALLY helpful! I'd say it's better than the BLINGBLING QUOTED YOU thing.

We have [@]USER[ /@] but it doesnt notify the. I'm not sure if I like the idea

I just want to say this before I go on about tagging users:

Habbox is Habbox, we aren't ClubHabbo/ForumLol and they may have these features or better systems in place in your opinion but that doesn't mean we will always use them and put them into HabboxForum. Just saying this because your recent posts in feedback are like: forumlol this, forumlol that. Not that I have a problem with people giving suggestions on what we can add to the forum.

Anyway back onto the mentions thing:

I was actually thinking about this the other day as I do look at other forums and see what's going on and things. I do like the idea because it's easier to do: @Jordan Fantastic idea etc.

I would expect If we also had an option to disable it for people as well? So if they didn't get like a notification/Private Message/whatever for it then it wouldn't be an issue. As I know some people would love the idea and want it and then others who wouldn't want it to notify them every time they are mentioned.

I was just thinking, last night, that this would be useful! ^_^

Yeah E.g. @Jin would be much easier than having to try quote someone, especially if they haven't posted in the thread. And yeah, it should send them a message ^_^ e.g. *Blank* has tagged you in a post.

Disabling it would be needed, imagine people tagging the same person 1000 times in the spam thread o.o

[Mr-Trainor]

I think it sounds like an interesting idea and could be useful, but I agree with Matt that there should be an option to disable it.

Is it too complicated to have a bar at the top saying "you have been tagged by xxmattgxx here" instead of a pm?

I'm not sure how it works on the other forums but if it's possible than sure.
