    Tags are shown at the bottom of the first post of a discussion, and popular ones are listed on the left sidebar of the homepage (not when viewing a discussion)

    I've tried a few times but it just seems to reject whatever I put in there (so obv. I'm doing it wrong :( )

    So, how do you use them ? (for lazy buggers who can't be bothered to read the Vanilla manual)

    tag:lazy

    Nope... that did nothing !  (and I googled it for a whole minute too !)

    When you are starting a discussion you have a tag box you put keywords in. After a couple of seconds it should turn that into a little box. If what you type is similar to an existing tag you should get suggestions.

    Ah !  I got it !!  Thanks bud ! 

    Edit: no I haven't...   haha!!   So... how do you create a new tag ?  I tried editing my first post to tag it as 'lazy' but it just said 'nothing found' and deleted my 'lazy'.  I'm obviuously not grasping the main concept here am I ? ;))

    Can you tag existing discussions?

    Mods can. 

    Normally only the OP can apply a tag to a discussion.

    @monquixote

    Could you point me to a guide on how to use the buggers please ?  I'm not getting this at all.  I can't find 'owt on here and I'm going round in circles on Google.

    Who do I contact about tagging and retitling the thread for the Gearfest South, which I'm organising?  Can the 'ownership' of thread be transferred so that I do not have to bother the boffins in charge?

    I don't think we can change ownership, but you could start a new thread and I can merge the old thread into that.

    I've noted that the tags change from time to time. For example "arsenips" was there this morning, and now it's disappeared.

    I find it a missed opportunity that the discussion on fracking is not tagged with "xxxratedgas".

    Erm, I can kinda answer this.  That was the tag for some of my dafter posts, I also jumped on the "down with this sort of thing".  Somehow my posts have been tampered with, unbeknownst to me.  :-S

    So I can't answer that.
