dumb question from an old-timer, ... what is 'tag' and how would I use it, and what would I use it for?
I see that you are putting @ in front of user name, then what and why?
try not to be too sarcastic with your answers
If I use the @ symbol and put it in front of your name like so @WV Cowboy it is called tagging someone.
By doing so you should get an alert (if you have normal settings on) saying someone has tagged you and a link to that post. Similar to an alert you would get when someone quotes one of your posts.
Kind of a mix between twitter and facebook.
But basically it just lets you know that someone made a post and had you in mind for at least part of it.
You can also follow specific users and get alerts when they make a new post/thread.
You can also follow separate zones here... Like if you want to it can be setup so any time someone makes a new thread in the Draft zone it will send you an alert.
Hope that explains it.
