Hashtagging, Thread Tagging, Quote Notification

[TinCow]

Hashtagging, Thread Tagging, and Quote Notification have been enabled across the entire forum. The purposes of these tools is to increase member awareness of discussions that involve them. The system works as follows:

• Hashtagging: Simply put @ before a member's name anyplace in a post. The forum will automatically send that person a notification alerting them that they have been tagged in that post. (Example: @Andres results in a notification being sent to Andres with a link to this post. Hi, Andres! :wave:) This is useful for attracting someone's attention to a post without having to PM them about it.
• Thread Tagging: Similar to Hashtagging, but directs a person to an entire thread instead of a single post. This can be done by adding users names to the list at the top of the thread.
• Quote Notification: Whenever someone is quoted in a post, they will now automatically receive a notification about the post that quoted them.

All three of these tools have been enabled for testing and feedback. If you like or dislike one or more of these tools, please post and let us know. Some or all may be kept or removed based on member feedback.

I agree.

I don't like these very much because they obscure the useful notifications, such as PMs or subscribed threads.
