azwiz request for definition # 1 " Tagging "
Tagging is term used here that I do not know the definition of . What is tagging a forum , a posting , a person , a poster , a photo ? What does it mean When I see that someone has " tagged " someone in a topic . It doesn't appear to be any different than when someone " wrote a message " in a watched topic ?
For what reasons would one have to tag someone ?

On this forum and other Forumotion Forums tagging is refereed to as tagging a member in a post.
To do so you would type @ sign, followed by the persons username e.g.
The person who's been tagged then gets a notification in the toolbar.

Is tagging used just as a heads up as a courtesy to let them know there is a notification ? Telling them something negative ? or something positive ? Or just that there is a notification ?
Basically is it good or bad or neither ?
Thank you for that . Finally a somewhat definitive answer . I understand now . I thought it was used in a disciplinary way and now I know it is not But could be .
Thank you
This also answers another current topic . Yesterday , when I applied the code .
The toolbar didn't show up right away .

I believe the "member tagging" system is just a way of notifying a user of a certain post that the person tagging them wants them to see.

Re: azwiz request for definition # 1 " Tagging "
@azwiz, it's still a fairly new feature, but to put it simply, it's just a way to notify someone that you replied to them. There was a similar feature called "watch this topic" which sent you a notification every time someone replied. It's similar to that in a way, but only to a single member. For example, I just tagged you .. so now you're "it" ! ahahah... that was bad, right ?
Seeing as you've marked your topic as solved, I'll go ahead and archive it.
Have a nice day.
