User tagging has arrived!

Avatar

Hey guys,

You can now tag members in your forum posts/replies. Just use the @ symbol as you would on Facebook. Our system will also help you with autocomplete. You then need to click/press enter to select the member to tag. It will then change to [member]... The member will then be notified by email that you’ve tagged them in the post.

We have also added the autocomplete functionality to smilies! Just start by typing : and the options will start coming up.

Please play around with it, and as always please let us know if you have any issues or feedback for improvement.

Cheers,

@rider26 (testing)

You should have received an email looking like this:

You might need to check your profile settings that you can receive emails from Boardworld.

@Mizu Kuma, you need to let the system bring up suggested screen names, and you need to select one as seen below.

It will then change it into the usable code as seen below (and yes, you can type this code manually if you know the user’s screen name).

This is awesome! Great work @rider26

It doesn’t prompt on iPhone to find the user though, so not sure if above is gonna work.

Great feature @rider26.

Mine’s not coming up highlighted though so I doubt it will work. I’m using Safari.
