I think the tags are a really good idea but they aren't displayed that well in my opinion. They crowd the title and generally make the index messy looking. I was wondering if they could be only displayed within the thread or search or perhaps a popup when you mouseover an icon....
Well, other forums have decided the tags were way more trouble than they were actually worth. Seeing tags such as "kill yourself", etc...Kind of makes me think they were right. A few thread examples of "trolling via tags": http://forum.grasscity.com/general/257816-i-see-death-around-corner.html http://forum.grasscity.com/general/258066-im-getting-sick-my-dad.html http://forum.grasscity.com/general/257784-drug-czars-salary.html
I didn't turn the function off but only the thread starter can tag the thread they started...for right now. If we need to kill the function, we will.
I was just wondering if anyone can please explain to me what the reason for putting tags on a thread would be. I am guessing that they are html that you can add to your title for a broader search spectrum. Please correct me if I am wrong.
You're right, it's just to help people find your thread if they're searching for similar topics AFAIK.
