User tagging

Basically I'd like to see a @name tag function on our forum.

This won't be happening so soon since the text is already highlighted as you name someone, so my guess is as good as yours, this'll definitely get declined.

thats only a ding sound, his suggestion includes posts and threads, unless you're gonna go to the search function and look up your name its not gonna show it, and it could also be displayed to show a notification when your name is written

To clarify; this is for threads.

Yes, I hope it gives you a notification because it makes me feel loved.

That is the idea behind it, like thanks you would get a notification that you got tagged in a certain thread or post.
Of course there would be rules for it so people cannot spam tag/randomly tag you.

Just add a delay between individual posts for tagging and make sure that it only gives you one notification if your name is tagged a million times in the same post.

Depends on if the ADD-ON has those functions or not.

Not sure how I feel about this. Personally I wouldn't want to receive notifications if I get tagged.
I'll look into it some more later.
