 I've been tagged again - what is it to be tagged?

Hi geofff,

If I mentioned your name in another thread and just wrote geofff you wouldn't know about it but if I wrote @geofff (https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?action=profile;u=9429) it'll tag you to let you know I mentioned you (should do it now). This will show up as a new message and should show what I said.

Hope makes sense and helps.

There is also a link to the post you were tagged in, and therefore the thread it came from.

As Weave explained, it's so that your username can be put into a post/thread to help get you involved in it.  This is particularly useful if a member thinks that another member would value that post/thread.  What is a little annoying is when you're in the thread already and you're continuingly tagged!  :no:

You can go into your profile and change how you are notified of any Tags.  This can be the little warning triangle by your username, a Private Message and/or an email.  Inside the each one will be a link to take you to the post that you're tagged in.

Yes! Nothing worse than being tagged in a thread you're actually actively replying to. Well, lots of things worse,  but it annoys me!

Er, no, I think we've unanimously agreed, you are definitely it!
