What is tagging?
A way to let people know you have mentioned them in a post / thread.
Why?
So they come and read what you've put. Perhaps for a reply to advice, perhaps somebody mentioning you as they know you've had the same problem and you might not read the thread, perhaps for something else.
How?
Like twitter and facebook you just use the [MENTION=6702]sym[/MENTION]bol in front of a username.
So @[DLMURL="http://www.electriciansforums.co.uk/users/1/"]Dan[/DLMURL] or whatever.
What happens?
The tagged person gets a notification by email and also in the top right corner like the 'like' or PM notifications.
Like I say it's still new so needs testing. Let me know if you spot any issues with it.
