    Ok these are a kind of interesting concept. Personally I like my thread=773]thread map[/thread] better but these could be useful.

    What is comes down to is establishing keywords for a specific thread. I believe the thread creator can assign 5 words and any other user can assign 2 (I can assign 25 ). I can change those setting if needed.

    I looked over the three most recent posts and came up with the following:

    Locations
    Oil
    Europe
    Maps
    Rules

    The tags get placed in the tag cloud after 30 min or so. The tag cloud is accessible under the search navigation tab via "tag search". I may end up standardizing them but please feel free to add tags to any threads you wish. I think to start with we should keep them generic as we are not dealing with 1000s of threads yet, but it will be interesting to see how this goes.

    edit: The edit tag function should be near the bottom of the thread (below "post reply" but on the right). If it is not there let me know.

    Another new thing I found is that as you type in the tag word, if there is an existing word with the same first 3 letters the system will provide a clickable gray box with the completed word. This will prevent misspellings of longer words. The PM system has a similar function. If you don't know the exact spelling of a user's name, enter the first 3 letters and the gray box will appear with the full name.

    I see someone has added a few, cool. There certainly can be some use for this.

      I am beginning to see the long term potential of this so I keep adding tags. We are moving in on 900 threads and 10,000 posts. This is in under a year. I am going to keep everything (unlike RPGhost) so anything that helps keep those numbers manageable for users is going to be a plus.

      Anyone else who wishes to add tags feel free.
