Duplicate Tagging non-members

[pgb]

LOVE the tagging feature - been waiting for that since the gallery was first launched. One way to improve it is to allow users to tag non-forum members. I have a need in my community to identify people in very old photos. Some of them are no longer alive, so it would be hard to get them to register.

So it'd list them but wouldn't link to the profile (since they obviously don't have a profile)?

No... wouldn't need a pre-populated list - we don't know the names of these people, so we wouldn't be able to do that. I'm suggesting changing "tag someone" to "tag a member" (no change to that functionality) and then have an additional free text field where you can tag a non-member (or a pet, a place on a map, etc.). Admins, moderators, image owners could delete the tag if necessary. It could actually have many uses...

Thoughts?

Someone has already suggested this.

It's basically the same as this:

The ability to tag things that aren't members.

Excellent! I hope it is considered for a future build. It's the only thing missing for me at the moment.
