    Do you use the tag option ....?

    Hi All,
     
    I'm sure all of you know that there is a tag option at the bottom of each post on this forum, but how many of us actually use the tag search when navigating through the community? We want to know how often do you use this tag search function? Does it help you find topics/post quicker? Will this option be grealy missed if it is removed from the forum?
     
    Thanks everyone for your support and feedback, we are looking forward to many changes and with everyones help it'll be an awesome endevour.
     
    Sincerely,
    Team Eggxpert 

    What if there was no more post tags?

    I have never used the tags and really until a couple weeks ago did not even know what they were or how to use them.  To me they do not really serve any purpose so I would say get rid of them.

    Re: Do you use the tag option ....?

    I have never used it, but I could see it as possibly useful. I think the main problem is that it requires the poster to use the feature in order for it to be useful for people to search with it. I personally don't use it to search for things, and I also don't put tags on my posts.

    Pull it. It's hardly used, and when it is, it's often abused and misused.

    Re: Do you use the tag option ....?

    I know about the tags but I never use them.  But I did not want to vote against those that do.  But if the feature is not used and another more useful feature could be added or enhanced with the resources now going to this feature I am all for that.  Yes

    I have used tags in other sites heavily. I like that for image boards and such... but really i have never used it here. nor do I think I ever really will. I say pull it.

    Re: Do you use the tag option ....?

    Actually its not getting pulled. The issue we had with the tags is that the database was starting to become filled with inappropriate material. It was difficult to eliminate/delete a tag that was created because we would have to go through every thread it was used in. We have now fixed that problem and can delete any tag all at once. So  if you ever come across improper tags, let us know.

    That's very good to hear sj1dog... Being able to remove a tag from all threads at once, is that an admin only thing?

    Re: Do you use the tag option ....?

    I really don't think it's used enough, nor is it reliable or functional in a search aspect to warrant keeping it.

    I guess that's just me though...

    Embarrassed [:$] Re: Do you use the tag option ....?

    I hardly use them, never figured out how to search them, but I didn't eggzactly try.  It should be stumbled on without hunting!

    You have to browse for a tag from the right hand bar...

    Those are the most common tags you can click the link to see them all....

    I meant to be able to type one in and search, You have to click advanced options in Search, then type in on the Tag line. Guess it wasn't to hard to find.
