Twitter like '@' tagging

Postby davutd » February 22nd, 2012, 8:17 pm

Yeah so on one of my previous threads I tried tagging someone with the @(insert username) function but it didn't work?

A function used across many social networking sites & forums, why not on here?

Cheers.

Employees are like mules. Some you stand in front of and coax them along with a carrot. Some you stand behind and kick them in the arse. The key to management is knowing which mules are which!

the board runs on phpbb software which doesnt have the functionality built in. to do the tagging a modification would have to be added to the boards code to allow the tagging.

Dont think its as easy as it looks Stu

I found a mod for my forum that "can" do it but it only sends pm's and is unreliable at the moment.

Not a good idea - I don't want loads of PMs just typing @ manually will do, I think???

TBH - I not sure what the benefit of this mod is - maybe someone can shed some light on it?
