    ValME needs user tagging in posts and comments
    * editorial posted by Clarisse88 1104 days ago in SuggestionBoxgettingstarted/suggestionbox

    Was this valuable to you?
    other links and editorials from Clarisse88

    How about financially supporting the OP/author with a few pennies (on us) by upvoting? Just click the show link and reward your karma. Or leave a comment with your thoughts. Here's some free karma to start.

    I think it would be useful if valME would have the option of tagging people in a comment, just like FB does. For instance, if I am writing a comment and I mention a person in it (by writing down their name in such comment), that user would get an email or a notification saying that someone tagged them in a comment. That way, that person wouldn't miss my comment about them, versus having to go through all the other comments to find out someone mentioned them in one.

    Thank you /u/Clarisse88 for this suggestion and, if all went well, you have just received a message indicating you were tagged. :)

    Here's the way it works:

    1. In either a new post or comment, when you enter /u/ and then the user's name (exactly as they chose it), users will get a notification in their inbox. For example, /u/c_prompt will now get a message I was tagged. Users tagged as part of editing a post or comment will not be notified.
    2. The user tags will automatically turn into clickable links to the user's profile.
    3. Your inbox will now show the first 200 characters of your message, making it easier to see what the tag/mention says about you.
    4. Your Settings page now includes a new option: "User tags/mentions notification by email." This allows you to turn off getting emails sent to you whenever you are tagged, but still retains the separate setting "Message notification by email (excluding user tags/mentions)" for comments and other messages.

    While I was in the code, I also added another option on the Settings page: "Automatically subscribe to all comments." Selecting Yes for this option will now automatically check the "Subscribe to comments" box whenever you add a comment to a post. This should make it easier to keep track of your comment conversations. However, as before, if you ever want to unsubscribe to a comment thread, simply uncheck the "Subscribe to comments" box and Submit a blank comment.

    Please let me know if this works for you.

    Edit: It works!

    Interesting idea. I think we could probably implement something like that. It probably wouldn't work exactly as it does in Facebook but let's see what we can do. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Yes, we know our UI isn't great. (And, to think if Twitter didn't make their awesome Bootstrap available?! Can you imagine how ugly our baby would be?) Yes, we expect there are lurking bugs around. (Oh! The hours we spent losing our battles with Javascript.) Yes, we tried to generate HTML that makes coffee, but acknowledge we weren't that talented. (The coffee turned out very bitter.)

    Yes, we know we have some growing to do. Please do help us. Offer suggestions. Offer code. Offer ideas. Offer talent. We have a database setup to support the billions of ways you want us to help you improve your own communities and the value you each receive. How will we implement them all? We have no freakin' clue as our 3D printer is broken.
