Tagging a user

[classic33]

When was it introduced in this format @username?

 

[ColinJ]

It appeared, pretty much unannounced (I think?), in an old version of the forum software, then it disappeared, and then it came back again with a later version.

@classic33, @classic33, @classic33

Just seeing if it works

In your case, no. Or at least not yet!

I think @ColinJ, @ColinJ will only get one alert from this!

I think the plugin that does it must work off some sort of timer which finds all the new tags every so many seconds ...?

What is a 'tag'. what is it for and what do you do if you get one?

Someone names you in a post like this @ayceejay . And you should get an alert about the tag.

Do you like getting tagged @classic33? I do, it makes me feel special!

 

[classic33]

What about now @classic33 ?

Got that one, but not the previous one, yet.

I only asked the question because I received an alert this morning, 03:16, that related to a post in September 2012, which at the time seemed odd. Still does.

Any idea why it would give an alert over a year later?

Nope. Just one of those things.
