See, even this comment is against the norm of the internet. Most people dig in and never change views, regardless of any counter points made. I love this community.

Somehow I missed this post, but... Awesome, thanks! :D

Might I also suggest... I had mentioned in the other thread in regards to notifications, the ability to put "@username" in a post which gives that person a notification. It's very useful, and definitely another way to help keep up forum participation. Not sure what it's called. Username pinging?

I've noticed this actually works currently. I've got the notifications. It's just forum-only notifications vs email. (and I think the term is "tagging" at least on other platforms)

Wait, are you saying there is a tagging feature on the forum already?

:lol:

When you look at the settings for notifications, there isn't any option there for tagging.

Can somebody tag me?
I thought I had a notification for it, but I don't see it in the history.
The notification function is a little confusing, it seems.
