Suggestion for CPAPtalk.com (for Johnny Goodman)

Post by tattooyu » Thu Dec 17, 2009 12:22 pm

Johnny,

I would like to request the ability to tag other users in a post, especially if you want to ask them a question to which they may have more knowledge. I think you can do something like that on Twitter and Facebook, where you precede the user's name by an "@" symbol.

And unless the remaining sleep debt is getting to me, I could have sworn there was a field for "Tags" at some point when posting. I no longer see that any where. Am I on crack again?

OOh! Ooh! I know this one! Pick me! Pick me!

This forum software is phpBB. It's a packaged system and doesn't include "Tags" like FB or MS have. Adding such a feature would be very difficult, expensive and probably violate the license agreement.

I know I saw the ability to add tags on here at some point. I swear I wasn't hallucinating. It appeared right in the area where the Options and Poll tabs are (below Save, Preview and Submit).

It is up there now, the ability to click to twitter is right next to quote. At least for now I can see it up there. I know I am not special that I have something others don't.

I'm confused, I see Twitter on top next to Quote and Tag Topic on bottom next to Post Reply and I don't know what to do with either one ? Thank you.

Oh crap, I never even saw the Tag Topic button this whole time. What does it do? I clicked on it, but nothing happened...
