    Yeah, it would be great.

    Plz lads come and thank my post more than the cabal of my current adversary in the latest battle of the ongoing gender/PC/SJW multi quote war.

    No. It'd turn boards into little cliques. Tagging is for criminals and cattle.

    What's tagging?

    Where were you reared? This is tagging.

    That was more for tagging a topic though, no?

    The OP is referring to putting a username in a post and that user gets notified there is a post awaiting them.

    Is there a system where you can be notified if someone has responded to your post? I'd prefer that.

    In post tagging, absolutely not. Maybe it could work if you could tag the person in a separate box attached to the post. Users then could have the option of hiding these boxes.

    I thought there already was tagging. There definitely was tagging at some point. Probably turned off because most tags were comedic or roundabout ways of insulting people as I recall. Basically you're not grown up enough to use tagging.

    No way. It would just get really annoying trying to read the posts in between people's usernames.

    It's almost like each user has an address, via which they are addressable, and thus you can have, like, communications tunnels with individual people on social media Websites. That's pretty cool. Now, what would be even better would be a whole separate app for contacting people privately and having conversations completely separately from all the usual social network stuff. HELO to you too! :D

    You can click your name, and then the thing beginning with S, and then posts that quote you. That's handy, but I can't remember the S word and I can't see it on the touch site :o

    There used to be a way of doing that too.
    And a thread-based view, so posts were organised according to what they responded to, not just order of posting.
    I think I see the trend. Soon it will just be emails and a spreadsheet.

    Used to have 'em. They're still covered in the faq.

    Used to cause a bit of bother though. Example.

    Merely an example of what boards would look like if tagging was introduced.
