Sorry, I should have spoken (typed?) more clearly - I don't see it fitting in forums
as a default feature. That is what I was trying to say, haha. And just because members get an alert of a tag doesn't mean I'd read the post or whatever, even if it was important. Take for example if you (Digital Doctor) tagged me in a post: I
could read it as my curiosity would obviously peak, but at the same time my mind wanders away from it because, other than the fact that we are on the same forum, we don't
know each other.
Now I could be thinking too far into this, but you'd also have to limit the number of tags
without limiting functionality, which isn't easy - especially when talking about tagging people, users, etc. Facebook can limit it's tags per status update because you can tag a crap-load of people in photos, and what I have found to be a pretty infinite number of tags in notes. Granted, I'm not saying anyone has to take my
opinion as the all-holy word, I'm just sharing my opinion
