You use tagging when you want someone to know that you have done something, for example, if you made a private thread with that person. Tagging is very helpful because it makes finding threads easier. Instead of having to dig through a bunch of threads, you are immediately directed to that specific thread.
Tagging basically works like this: @(insert username here) For example, if I were tagging myself I would do Echo
Here is what it looks like when you haven't quite posted the thread yet:
Now here is what it looks like after the post:
As you can see, when a name is tagged the color is different. This lets you know the tag worked. You can also see that the finished result is different from what was originally typed. That is because you can't just type the display name, you have to type the name that person registered with (with the exception of Mid since she is called "admin")
Red circle shows the name I registered with. The blue shows my display name. (If you wanna change your display name then press edit profile and then press personal and it will be at the top)
Now you have the basics! Yay! but there is a trick! If you don't want to have to go to someones profile to see what their username is, do this:
(I had to draw the cursor, so sorry it is messy)
You roll your cursor over their name in a thread and their username appears! MAGIC!
