We should be able to "tag" members in discussions. 2014-04-14T20:00:55-04:00 SSG Robert Burns 101899 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I think it would be great if we could tag individuals within a discussion to bring it to their attention for several different reasons.  The main reason being that if we know of a subject matter expert that could provide some very valuable feedback on the topic, we could tag them so that they know they have been summoned.<div>For example, MSG Quick could be tagged in a discussion about Career Counseling that he may not have otherwise seen.  Or I could be tagged when someone needs to be corrected on any topic.  ;-)</div> My next feature suggestion.

Excellent idea, count me in!!
