How to Use Community Tagging Feature
In order to foster stronger engagement within your community, we have introduced a new tagging feature that allows users to mention specific members in posts and comments. This feature not only improves interaction but also helps in maintaining organized conversations.
Here's a straightforward guide on how to make the most of this feature:
1. Tagging in Posts:
- Initiating a Tag: When creating a post, simply type the "@" symbol followed by the first few characters of the member's name.
- Selecting a Member: As you start typing, a list of relevant members will appear, based on the characters you've entered. You can then navigate to the desired name and click on it, or use the arrow keys to highlight it. When you hover over a name, it will be highlighted in blue.
- Inserting the Tag: Once you've chosen a member's name, it will appear in your post content as a highlighted tag.
- Publishing: After composing your post, click on the publish button. The members you've tagged will receive a notification, informing them that they've been mentioned in the post.
2. Tagging in Comments:
- Starting a Tag: When writing a comment, you can initiate the tagging process by typing the "@" symbol followed by part of the member's name.
- Selecting a Member: A dropdown will appear, displaying relevant members based on your input. Hovering over a member's name will highlight it in blue. You can then click to select the member you want.
- Inserting the Tag: The chosen member's name will be incorporated into your comment as a highlighted tag.
- Publishing: Once you're satisfied with your comment, proceed to publish it. The members you've tagged will receive notifications of their mentions.
3. Tagging in Comment Replies:
- The tagging feature is not limited to new comments; you can also tag members in responses to existing comments.
4. Email Notifications for Tags:
- Receiving Notifications: If someone tags you in a post or comment, our system will send you an email notification to keep you informed.
- Direct Navigation: Within this notification, you will find a direct link to the post or comment where you've been tagged, making it easy to join the conversation.
5. Tagging Multiple Members in a Single Comment:
- It's important to note that you can tag multiple members in a single comment, allowing you to involve several community members in a discussion.
By following these steps, you can effectively utilize the community tagging feature to engage with your fellow community members and enhance the organization of conversations on our platform.
