Tagging Players in a post

[GreyWolfVT]

I don't know how easy or hard it is but on one other form that uses the same type of code as here you can actually tag a player and it gives them a notification. With the forums as they are now I we do get notifications if we are quoted, which is fine. But rather than always quoting someone if we are specifically posting a reply to someone how hard would it be to add the function to be able to tag them with @username? Or even adding a button to tag a player as I think that is how it is on Proboards.com

Here is a screenshot of what it looks like there (proboards forums)

I agree, this could be helpful.

We'll see what Greg says.

I also agree that this would be a helpful feature. But, it's not native in the code so it would have to be a plug-in. I'll do a search for it but make no guarantees. If anyone else wants to do some research on it as well, that would be helpful.

I'll see what I can dig up, Greg.

Talked to the admin of the probaord forum I am in and he said it was already built-in at least for Proboards when he created his forum there and does not appear to be a feature he can disable. Not sure how any of that helps but so far it is all I have discovered.

I would love to have this feature.
