It just came into my mind that if you could tag people on posts they'd be able to notice if they're mentioned in a post or not.
It's not the greatest idea I know that but it'd be a handy feature. Plus I don't even know if it's possible :P
What do you guys think? Would it be cool if you could tag someone and they'd get a pop up notice if they've been tagged in a topic or not?

Would be interesting. Why not suggest to Viral? It's like the notice you get when someone approves your post ;P

I think there was something a long time ago like a Shout Out function that was supposed to do that, but Gforce removed it because it ultimately failed to work.

I also think it's a bit arbitrary at the time being, because this isn't like Facebook where tagging is really necessary - if we want someone to look at a thread we always have the shoutbox and PM system :s

It's a good idea, but as Starf said, not entirely useful/ necesary for us as such.. Would just become a cool/ fun additional feature of the forum; which is good but, so far, I like the forum without the tags.

So, that's my two cents. : p

There seems to be a code for this already:

While it may not be necessary I feel it would be a nice feature to have. While currently there may not be a whole lot of posts, but on high activity days, new threads and posts can get buried very easily. Also, yeah you could always message the person, but having a notification show up for them instantly would avoid any time zone afflictions and other things that would go along with trying to get the word out to the person.

I again agree with this idea. Putting up a poll, if majority likes it, I'll add the code and get back to you guys

Since everyone who voted agreed to add a Tagging system, I've added the code. Thank you Cory for the code and Viral for linking us ;D

No spaces. "code" code isn't working.
Replace Username with the username of the user

You should see a new Mentions panel under/next to User CP. Do tell me if there are any problems.

(To all staff: Please do not touch the Mention Notifications forums until I get this thing perfected)

Edit: I don't think it's fully in function. I'm receiving notifications that I've sent a "Call" message but not a notification for having received one. I will try to fix this
