Tagging not working?

[jefmcg]

I got the tag. First one I have had for a couple of days.

(I didn't get vickster's above, and it's the whole content, so I doubt it's an edit)

If you are watching a thread, you don't get a tag alert I've noticed, only in unwatched threads.

Thanks for letting me use your accounts to test it.

The tagging is working fine, however the software won't send two alerts if you're watching a thread for replies and you get tagged in the same thread. The "reply" alert will override the "tag" alert (presumably because you'll see you've been tagged when you go back to the thread to read it).

If you get tagged in a thread you're not watching, you'll get a tag alert to draw your attention to it.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Shaun

But you do get both alerts if you watch a thread and someone quotes you.

I got that you replied, not that I was tagged.

I got tagged!

I got all three alerts from @SatNavSaysStraightOn, @coffeejo, and @jefmcg - but you only get an alert if it is added to the initial post. Editing them in afterwards doesn't produce an alert - isn't that right @ColinJ?

Can you confirm you got these alerts?

I can confirm that I did NOT get a tag alert!

No.

Didn't want to argue with you, as you know the software better than I do - obviously - but that wasn't how I remembered it working.

And now I am getting tags for threads which I am watching, which seems to be the way I thought it was.

I've restarted the database server since looking at this - perhaps it was glitching and is now back to normal (I don't really use tags very much). So long as it's working that's the main thing.

Cheers,

It's properly broken again Just stumbled on a tag (from @vickster) in a thread I wasn't watching, but no alert

Thanks - I've restarted the SQL server, so hopefully that will flip it back. I suspect it's tied-in with the double-posting issue.
