Dumb questions about tags

You might want to review the tutorial I've given you links to. It will help clarify the answers to these questions.

Here's a link to it again in case you've misplaced it. You might want to bookmark it for future reference.

I'm having a hard time understanding why any of this matters. Why do you care? Is it for your own filing purposes or are you considering the audience??
Tags do two things.
The help you organize the things you write and the threads you want to read. I tagged one of my threads spamalot. There is no spamalot forum per se, but if someone searches spamalot, they might find it. I don't care if anyone searches for the thread or not, or if they use the spamalot tag or not. It's their choice.
Forums are general catchalls. If you want to align your topics to a forum, GREAT. Awesome. If you don't, c'est la vie.
If you write a thread on cooking, sure put tag it as a cooking thread, or don't. Chances are some one will anyway. Somebody else might tag it Chinese food, or snuflufageous. In the end, if it means something to someone, they'll tag is how they see fit or they wont. It's only important if you want it to be. I hardly tag anything. If I want to find something, I'll either use the search button or look in forums or ask, sometimes other people, esp. Butterflynet have great memories and can find anything.
As for Discussions and Questions and the difference... One of them has the red ribbon, the other doesn't.
Tags are linked from your profile page.
Again, you are WAAAAAY over thinking this. Relax.

Thank you But for that link, it’s very comprehensive

Incidentally it mentions email notification link but I’ve been advised by other participants that it has been decommissioned or is out of order so I wonder if you could comment

Hi Ceili good to hear from you once again

As an erstwhile writer and inventor it’s just my nature to want to improve things but I’m misinterpreted as an iconoclast

Yes I fully comprehend

Yes I understand that but I’m curious in which if any forum my thread appears ifs I don’t select one. Of course I realize it will be cited in New Posts

Me neither

That’s what I had assumed. Are they also cited in New posts

It’s a terrible habit but I’m hopelessly addicted. I love you and wish we had met when I was younger and that you had been born earlier, and somehow in my bailiwick

But doesn’t bother you that you can’t scroll in the edit box

I can hardly believe I’m the only participant to notice that particular glitch, very annoying

The other participants are correct.

I will be removing it from the tutorial the next time there is a major change in A2K to warrant all the work that goes into it.

Dale,

Which brand of internet browser are you using and which version of it?

Also, which operating system are you using?

You might also like to click on the tagging forum - I gave you the means to do that already.

You don't seem to listen to our answers to your questions.

Since you don't, I'll just give you the link for some thirty threads on tagging -

You're an aggravating poster, dale. You don't listen, you don't seem to explore, and you tend to blame others for your not getting stuff. We try to help, since many of us have been perplexed somewhat sometime on dealing with the internet, but you make it hard.. as you don't listen and tend to blame.

When you create tags at the time you start a question or a discussion, you put commas between the tag subjects. This instruction is right there in the place where you are starting the question or discussion. Instead of complaining, please read the form.

Could you keep these sort of questions to one thread and not start new ones? It makes it hard for the rest of us to refer to any comment made earlier.

Sorry But but removing what

Sorry But don’t have the foggiest idea
Does Macintosh sound right

Are you using Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari or something else?

If you click on the blue link in the upper left corner of the post where it says @butrflynet) you are confused about, you'll see that it is in response to a question you asked me about some of the content in the tutorial.

Those blue links in the post take you directly to the post that is being responded to.


This was demonstrated in the tutorial. Click here to read it again. It starts with the title "Anatomy of a topic thread."

I think, with others who have tried to clue me in, that we have a pest.

Safari

Thanks But for that tip, I’ll remember it next time

Oss if that’s an insult and if it’s directed at me I apologize most profusely, I only mean to b e helpful. However I won’t be the least offended if the participant who is troubled or perplexed by my postings simply don’t read them
