Forum Topic Tags

[Rodney]

Here's a possible point of interest concerning Topic tags...

 

I note that several folks are using the Topic Tags which is a very good thing.

When clicking on a tag anywhere in the forum other topics with that same tag will be brought forward.

Its a useful way to categorize and retrieve information.

 

This does beg the question however about the usefulness of one of a kind unique tags that are more than likely to only apply to that one instance of using said tag.

It may be that folks are using the tags in a similar way as the old subtitles, which have gone away.

But note that as those will likely be unique to only that one post or topic, it isn't a particularly good use of tags.

 

Tagging can (at least theoretically) help others find other information in the forum related to your tags.

I'll be honest Rodney, I see my topic is using these tags, but I didn't set it up. It must have been done automatically for my latest WIP topic. *shrugs*

It was automatically done by me.

Sometimes I see something worthy of a few extra moments of my time and adding relevant tags to your topic was most definitely worthy of my time.

Of course it would be even better if such work could be automated.

Ah, I thank you for your "automatic" work
