I did a quick search and nothing turned up, lmk if this has already been brought up...
Does anyone else think it would come in handy if we had a tagging function like facebook? For example, in a FS thread, if we know somebody who wants a certain thing we can "tag" their name in our post, and they will be notified that they have been mentioned in a thread then they will go see it... instead of just hoping by chance they see it later.
Or for another example, maybe in a thread if someone is asking about a certain subject we know one person is very knowledgeable in, we could "tag" a person into the thread, like saying "Idk if I helped much, but I know ______ knows a lot about this stuff," then they can be notified that they were mentioned, then they can come into the thread and help out.
As for location of it maybe make it an icon next to the hyperlink, quote, insert image, etc buttons on the top of the text boxes? Something like that maybe.
I'm not trying to tell anybody what to do, I'm just throwing out an idea. If it's stupid don't be afraid to tell me you think that, I just wanted to suggest this as I feel it could be very helpful and come in handy a lot on here.
Tell me what you guys think.
