   I am looking for a way to tag images using their identifier (#2 - some text comment).

   The idea is to tag the image using the # and once published it would populate the image in the comments field.

   I have seen this on a site that uses intense debate as a comment handler, however I cannot find the specific plugin that adds that functionality.

   You can see an example of exactly what I am talking about here - TheChive

   Scroll to the comments.

   Any help would be awesome!

   they are using the wordpress build-in gallery shortcode, probably with a small edit in the code.

   general approach, see:
   http://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-gallery-shortcode?replies=8

   in your case:
   replace:

   $output .= "<{$itemtag} class='gallery-item'>";
   		$output .= "
   			<{$icontag} class='gallery-icon'>

   with:

   $output .= "<{$itemtag} class='gallery-item'>";
   static $img_number;
   $output .= "<div class='imageNum'><span>".$img_number++."</span></div>";
   		$output .= "
   			<{$icontag} class='gallery-icon'>

   the rest is css for styling, new classes:
   .imageNum { ... }
   and
   .imageNum span { ... }

   Okay, I updated my code on my mirror test site and I was able to get a generic image # below the image. However my goal here is not only to do that but to allow the user to comment on a specific image by referring to it in their comment. If you refer to the site I mentioned and scroll to the comments you will see what I mean.

   A user can say #1 and then a thumb of that image will automatically be added to their comment.

   I don't see how to add that functionality given your tutorial. Unless I am misunderstanding something.

   You can see by adding the code and making the recommended change what I have achieved. http://brandonjkidd.com/testpress/?p=336

   Also there is a plugin called Image Counter that adds an image # to the image and does some nice styling as well. Could I use that to in conjunction with some custom code to achieve my goal here?
