Tagging community users in comments

[Anonymous]

This might be better suited for the Badgeville forums, but it would be great to be able to tag users in questions.
 

Use case: I see a question posted that Messrs Hollebone and Lowe would be well equipped to answer.  Will they actually see these questions?  Not unless they scour the forum looking for them.  

Being able to tag experts in questions would greatly improve the speed of getting questions answered by the right experts.

It's true, it would.

If the system could automatically do this based on prior response histories, it would be awesome!  For example, someone asks about something that requires a completely out of the box approach and bingo, Adam Waterson is at the top of the list of suggested experts ;0)

Most of the time Elliott and Josh have come to my aid, especially when I'm about ready to get grumpy.  Even you Adam and Steven have helped me.

Hi all,

This is something I've wanted to do for a long time! We are working on it, but I don't have an exact time frame on when it will get done. I'll keep you posted on timing.

Thanks for this great idea. I think it would be extremely valuable.
