reply with tag

Add next to the Reply link in posts, but it replies with a tag instead of with a quote.

@King Kovifor - yup, that's how I visualised it.

I don't think people need this.
They should just use @username_

Yet, you want the tag to do the same exact functionality. Which is inconsistant with the rest of the software. Adding a 3 letter word to explicitly define this functionality would help quite a few people (especially if they have spaces in their name).

Quick look, should be no more than 5 lines of JavaScript and 1 link added to the post bit.

Oh Oh Oh !
I think I found a good candidate for where to click for @tagging vs a big ugly Tag link.



But I would rename the link @Digital Doctor

It's time to get rid of the idea that Member Name = pull up Membercard.
Clicking postbit = Bring up Membercard.

People tagged "oldskool" by dragging the username down and the editor preserved the formatting. This could be manipulated to auto-tag but I think it can't get much simpler than @ and the username. That's personal preference though, I'm sure some people wouldn't adjust to the manual labour involved in that and in which case a simple tag hyperlink that executes javascript to insert into the editor should be easily visible and consistent. Hiding the tagging execution hyperlink in some non-default action will require just as much education to your users as telling them to precede the username with the @ symbol.

Please change the record. The suggestion has been made. Constantly making posts about the same thing is just unnecessary.

Great minds think alike

@Digital Doctor, that doesn't display on mobile tho. Tag would, and clearly states the purpose. The notion of Name -> Member Card is logical since nearly any time you click on a username, you want a profile. Facebook tags, twitter mentions and others I've seen all function with this motion. This makes the feature easier to understand when introduced.

I'll do the same for the editor thread.

Tagging on mobile !
Important point.

 

[Jeremy]

You can tag on mobile. My last response (with tag) was from mobile.

I just looked.
I think the mobile style should display the Username, not just the time of the post !
Solved !

Can you tag with clicking ? (on mobile).

The username is at the top of the post. Mobile styles should be minimalistic and I don't fuss over the username not being at the bottom.

Yes you can click tag with mobile.

I like the text Tag on the right because it's KISS - simple.
This is going to be a new function to a lot of users so making it also some kind of quasi intuitive drag, or the slightly confusing +@ = Tag, but -@ = membercrad is muddling.

PLUS it's clearly visible as Tag on the right, logically next to Reply, so it would promotes usage/ reduces quoting.

I vote for a Tag @ button on the editor toolbar as well - a neat addon?

Clicking works fine, @Digital Doctor. Last poster user names are removed all over the style. Minimalistic but useful is the goal. It takes up space that is needed for information / actions not found elsewhere.
