Testing

-- Wrapping the 'mention' tag around my name didn't notify me, or make it show up under the MENTIONS tab

-- Adding my name to the tag user list didn't work at all - it didn't appear in the tagged user list at the top of the thread or under the tab in my profile.


(both of which were done in a different thread)

Yea, though I did just drop mine in another thread, and it is not showing up under any tab. hmmm...

Possibly because you're mentioning yourself and the system doesn't tell you you've done that? Not sure. But does this one show up? @weem:

[Edit - yeah, on checking the developers forums it doesn't tell you that you mentioned yourself; I guess it assumes you already know! ]

Yes it did!

Could a couple of people tag me and also mention me (preferably in different places)? I'm only seeing all this from one side at the moment - I'd like to see how the recipient side looks!

Also, I WAS able to tag tadr in the other thread, but when trying to tag myself it does nothing, so at least for me, there is not tagging yourself.

(that didn't sound right).

Yup - see my edit above. Doesn't notify you when you tag yourself.

Fin.

I'm not clear as to what the difference is between tagging and mentioning.

I'm not clear as to what the difference is between tagging and mentioning.

I've just written a FAQ entry, but basically:

1) Mentioning is when you mention someone's name in a post and use {mention} tags.

2) Tagging is when you use the box at the top of the thread to tag the whole thread with a member's name without mentioning them in the post or thread itself. This could be because you simply want to bring the thread to someone's attention for whatever reason, and can be done after the thread was posted. I imagine that the mods will get more use out of that than most people, but you're welcome to use it also.

The latter is casual while the former requires spray paint remover.
