Ability to tag all group members in group subforum posts. - Chrome - Oct 23, 2024
Would be a good idea if group owners and leaders had the ability to tag the entire group in posts within group subforums. This would be very handy for if there is a big announcement regarding changes or events etc.
I know it should be on the individual members to keep an eye out for those and the onus is on leaders to monitor members activity. But if you have 50+ people in your group it can be tricky.

This is good idea, you dont have then to mention them @@ one by one or even save them to file
Hope this can be applied

Yeah when posting either have an option to notify members or, have like @refactor@ which notifies all members. It will need to be something thats only availible to leaders otherwise it can cause heaps of spam.

As a group member, I would find this useful. I don't have alot of time to spend on HF, and I am known for forgetting about the group SF's - would be awesome if I could check my notifications to see what needs my attention.

I suggested this to Omni a few weeks ago. He drew an outline of how much work would go into implementing it. Ultimately we both agreed that it's best to just have all members use the subscribe feature in the subforum. He did bring up the idea of force subscribing all members in each group.

I support this idea.
Not sure why it wasn't suggested earlier.

As always, I 100% support this suggestion. It would be so useful to have it.

This has actually been suggested many times in the past. I can't remember what the outcome was of those threads, but unfortunately we haven't been able to get the feature yet. I'm sure there's a valid reason as to why, but nonetheless it'd be awesome to see implemented.

Because I'm not so keen on execution.
Will require sloppy logic in every single thread just for this one feature which I'm sure everyone thinks is handy but don't understand the overheard on it.
I haven't thought of a good execution that I've liked. The best I've come up with is a notify feature on the groupcp for the owner only. Because I really don't want to add a hook into newpost and newreply for this.
Some stuff just isn't worth the overheard.

Been asked multiple times.
You can always do something like I did where I pull all uids and tag them that way.
However doing it this way then you also run into this

I still have that on my Bug Fix list. It's gonna get done.

That's understandable. Lots of work for one feature that we have plenty of alternatives to already (copy & paste your groups memberlist, as a leader these are things you most likely have saved somewhere, etc..), or simply just post a group thread and wait to see who's actually active and replies.
What about Convo though? The group chats we have in Convo already I mean. Would there be a possible way of implementing some sort of mass-group tagging feature there? I have no idea what type of work that would require, but it was just an idea that came to mind.

Do y'all even get message notifications for those? I don't. I didn't even know people used that still lol

The tagging in Convo is not designed to send a notification. That would be silly given the Convo is live and by the time someone gets the notification and looks, the message is long gone. Would also be an easy way to spam or harass someone.

Nah, unfortunately I've never got any notifications relating to Convo. I just hear the 'pop' notification sound sometimes, but not always. That's why for my MM clients, I always tell them to PM me instead so I get a notification for it.
It'd be awesome if there was the ability to edit what convo's you want to notify you, and which ones you don't want.
