New Feature - User Tagging in threads and posts

[Sombeech]

Hi Folks, we've got a new feature for the members on bogley; User Tagging.

The goal is to


easily group together those who were involved in a Trip Report
ask for help on a topic without having to email or PM that person to get their attention
or to just involve somebody in the conversation.

To tag somebody, just use the "@" symbol in front of their username. (Yes, it must be spelled correctly) Examples; We met up with @Toolguy5700 (http://www.bogley.com/forum/member.php?u=18657) and @blueeyes (http://www.bogley.com/forum/member.php?u=17610) to ride the trail today.

Or

@Summit (http://www.bogley.com/forum/member.php?u=435), I was wondering what setting you had to shoot those star trails....

Or

"You should ask Udink how to get there, I hear he's in that area all the time..."

Each of those tagged will see a notification up in the top just like a Private Message, except it says "1 New Mention". It will then direct them to the thread or post where somebody mentioned their name (or tagged them)

Here are some screenshots:

There are a few other options with this feature like removing the @ symbol automatically once you post the thread, stuff like that. But go ahead and play around with it.

There are many Trip Reports posted with other bogley members involved. The author now can easily let the other members involved know that the photos and report are up without sending them a manual notification.

Enjoy. :cool2:
