Feedback Tagging not working

[Hatchy1992]

My tagging notification does not seem to be working. I have came across my name being tagged in numerous posts but have not received a notification when it occurs.

Anyone else having the same problem or have any suggestions?

Is your name added in an edit of the post?

 

[Hatchy1992]

No, I do not believe it is.

Is there a limit to the number of people that can be tagged? Often I find if theres a decent amount of posters being tagged, thats when it won't work.

If you could give me a link next time you see it that would help.

You received an alert in relation to this post, which you read 9 seconds after the post was made. However you received alert not because you were tagged, but because you were watching the thread. You get only one alert per content action.

However I am looking into the matter a little further as there did seem to be a couple of people who missed out competely

Thanks for clearing that up for me. I now understand what your saying. As I was already watching the thread, my tag did not notify me. If I had not been watching the thread, I would have received the tag.

I've had dozens of complaints about missing alerts from tags. Gave up and used PMs

I'm yet to see a genuine tag failure.

Common reason for thinking it's not working 1. Tags are meant to alert content to a targetted user, but if the targetted user is already alerted to the content, eg they are watching that thread, then the system will not send an additional alert.

Common reason for thinking it's not working 2. User creates a post, then edits it adding the tag. Tags have to be applied when the posts created, rather than when edited, otherwise users would be alerted every time a post with a tag is edited.

Point 1 makes sense, the recent one was in a thread I had subscribed to.

I've had a few issues with multi tagging. In the player sponsorship thread on the Essendon board, I initially tried tagging all 43 player sponsors in a post. Many didn't seem to get the notification.

Later, I tagged about 12 in a post and again, not all got the notification.

Hi Jim Boy,
Regarding a 'watched thread', does the thread automatically become 'watched' as soon as you post in it?
Is it possible to alter this setting?

I don't really use the 'watched thread' function, and as such I am not being alerted when tagged in threads I have previously posted in

EDIT: I am a nuffy, found it in 'preferences', all good

Can anyone advise from experience how many tags you can put in a post before they appear to not work for one or more tag-ees?

I think it's 5.

4 or 5 for me
