I'd like to add the mention feature to my forum (@username: and then they would be notified of the ping).

I stumbled upon this topic: https://help.forumotion.com/t116032-mention-mentioning-a-member-or-user

But unfortunately the site that was linked (http://www.malware-site.com/t28-how-to-add-a-simple-tagging-system) no longer seems to be working.

The only resource I could find was this program: http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/vbecommerce.php?productid=20&do=product&utm_source=isleofjanthir.net&utm_campaign=Footer%2BLinks&utm_medium=Advanced%2BUser%2BTagging&utm_content=Lite

But I really don't want to have to pay for a tagging system if I can find it for free.

Any suggestions, solutions, or ideas?  

Hi,

This should help http://www.avacweb.com/search?mode=searchbox&search_keywords=tagging&show_results=topics

They mentioned it doesn't work with the new editor; I tried it out anyways and they're correct =/
