When replying to a post I see the word Tags and Select Tags at the bottom of the page. Can some one tell me what there are used for please?
Tags are a useful way to search for
threads with similar subject matter and content. This complements the
normal search system, which searches only for certain words or phrases
and/or posts by specific users.
To use tags, you add words or phrases
to threads to help describe the content. For instance, if the subject
matter is ‘photography’ then you can add the tag ‘photography’ to the
tag list. But you could also add tags like ‘digital image’, and ‘camera’ (depending, of course, on the nature of the thread).
This will categorize this thread with all other threads that have matching tags, whether or not they have the word ‘photography’ in them.
Nice idea until some uninformed personage puts a tag/signature in there, as has happened[^o)]
I clean them out about once a week[;)]
