Questions on the tags:

What happens when I click on an existing tab (is that like voting for it)?

What happens when I click on the red 'X' (is that voting against it or approving it)?

No, but I am waiting for them to give me liposuction and a tummy tuck!

When you click on a tag, you should get a list of posts on that topic.  When you click the [X], it's deleting the tag from the post for everyone.

Russell wants me to change it so only moderators can manipulate the tags, since his tags keep getting deleted.

What's wrong with Candy Mountain?  Doesn't it take anybody to the magical place it takes me to?

Must be something about that big red X that just says "CLICK ME!"

  Uh, oh, Russell is losing it!  See I said that Charlie video might have a mind control component to it.

I've been trying to add useful tags myself, so I hope it doesn't go this way. If possible, lock it such that you can only delete tags you added?

[Kat Kanning]

Unfortunately, it's not particularly configurable - the only option is to let people manipulate the tags or not.

Judging by the number of tags being put on posts, I'd say the tags were a hit, despite being so buggy.

[J’raxis 270145]

Tags are good. I'm sure the coders will work out the bugs it eventually.

Can you point me to where you got the code/module/whatever it is? I assume it's just PHP+MySQL like the rest of SMF, no? I might be able to take a look at it at some point (i.e., when the projects I'm working on now are done).

Thanks.

Do not put spaces between tags when entering them with commas when creating a new topic, as the spaces are not stripped, and the system treats "word" and " word" as two different tags.
