Whoops!! Thanks @Magicman and @sandhills my comment still stands.

I wasn't trying to "run you up a flagpole" (old saying) but it was a good illustration and a lesson for all of us.

Oh - no worries at all, I have often served as a good example of what not to do. :D

I'm about to remove the function completely as clearly it's misuse is getting worse. Tagging someone that is already involved in a topic is not what this is meant for. It is meant to alert someone to something they have no involvement in, but might want to know about. Tagging someone just because you can, can cause aggravation, especially on my end when I get complaints about something that is supposed to be helpful.

Do we need a thread just on Tagging,again? Some probably are not seeing the wrong way to use the tagging. I like to see it stay,it does help,if used the way it was intended.

I've just found a way to upgrade it to let people remove the notifications under their profile settings. This doesn't help it from being misused, it just lets those that get aggravated by it to opt out. I hate to see that as at times it could be most useful.

Tagging someone who is already participating in the thread is certainly not necessary. Just leaving the @ sign off but using the member name will direct attention regards the point addressed.
Maybe harping about it will get the point across, or just tagging that offender (that's too harsh of word to use for our members) will do it over time.

Thanks for working on it Jeff.

Perhaps I broke it trying to make it better. Doesn't seem to be working for me now at all.

Boss,

If you can get it working again, we can ride herd (old saying) on it to see that it is used as intended.

@Larry. it works!

Jeff · March 31, 2015, 10:18:08 PM

Yep, used within one minute of my last edit.

hackberry jake · March 31, 2015, 10:20:12 PM

How would you tag someone with a two part name like @paul case?

Edit: didnt think it was going to work because the drop down menu didn't show up. But it worked just fine. For a second I thought I would be un-taggable.
