Nostromo Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 (edited) Hi, Was just going to put a bass up in the for sale section . . . . . . . Immediately under the "Topic Title" is a second box labelled "TopicTags" and a note saying Select a maximum of 10 tags ? ? ? I guess I ought to be a bit higher up the food chain than total pond life considering the time I've been a member of Bass chat, but, for the life of me, I just cant work out what a “Tag” is supposed to be . . . and I also cant find out how I'm supposed to "select a tag" . . . . In my experience with computer stuff, when you're told to "select" things in computer programmes there's usually a drop down menu to select from . . well that’s my experience anyway? . . . maybe the word "select" is used differently here ? . . . anyway, bottom line is I don’t have the slightest idea how to select something to enter into the Tags field ? . . . or, if its just a case of typing something in myself, then what is a "Tag" ? ? . . . . . I don’t know what words I’m supposed to type in and/or why ? . . . are these Tags some sort of search function ? . . I’ve no idea ? I await my enlightenment with interest ? ? ? Cheers, Edited October 22, 2011 by Nostromo Quote
Nostromo Posted October 22, 2011 Author Posted October 22, 2011 Guess I may have put this iin the wrong Forum ? . . . . not my day today ! Anyway, any advice much appreciated ? . . . maybe one of the moderators might clue me in sometime soon ? Cheers all, Quote
mike257 Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 They're supposed to be kind of 'keywords' relating to what your topic is about. If you hover your mouse over tags in an existing topic title, you'll see an option to 'Find more content tagged with xxx'. That way, if you're interested in Precisions, Kittens, or Dime Bars, you can click on the tag and find all topics that have been tagged with that keyword! Quote

discreet Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 Type in whatever words you think may be relevant, each followed by a comma and you're done. I've been having fun entering totally irrelevant tags for comedy purposes, such as 'family jewels' or 'Peebles', for example. Probably down to the gaping emptiness at the core of my being. *Sigh*.

Nostromo Posted October 23, 2011 Author Posted October 23, 2011 Thanks guys . . .I get it now Cheers, Quote
BigRedX Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 (edited) In order for the forum to not get clogged up with pointless tags (which will probably impact on the overall speed), would it be possible to clear out those only used once every 6 months or so? Edited October 23, 2011 by BigRedX Quote
