Tags

One of the new features of the latest forum software is the 'tags' option. This gives you the option to add tags to a thread, so it can more easily be found. The tags can be added during the creation of a thread, but also to existing threads. Considering that there are well over 30,000 threads, it is a massive job to add tags. That's why we would like to ask you to help out and add tags to threads you read.

Here is a sample of tags at work: Ultimatecarpage.com forums - Threads Tagged with avatar

Thanks and Happy New Year,
Wouter

On a side note, in the top 41 most used tags: Condom.

How exactly do you add threads to a tag?

I tried tagging a car with the same name in order to link it to a similar car. when I go back and click on the tag, all I have shown is a tag to the same thread. Do I insert the actual web address in the tag box?

No just the car's name, but both threads have to be tagged.

Where exactly is the tag-box located when you are making a new thread ? Recently I tried to enter some right away, but I couldn't locate the box. I will try and add some to the threads I post in, when I dont forget. Let's hope others do the same.

I don't care too much about your spectacle situation. My concern is if it works. Does it?

It's tempting to add a 'drakkie causing a stir' tag to this thread.
