I searched the forums trying to figure this out. Please 'scuse me if this is posted somewhere because I sure couldn't find it.

What are "tags" and how do they work?

Tags are a useful way to search for threads with similar subject matter and content. This complements the normal search system, which searches only for certain words or phrases and/or posts by specific users.
To use tags, you add words or phrases to threads to help describe the content. For instance, if the subject matter is 'photography' then you can add the tag 'photography' to the tag list. But you could also add tags like 'digital image', and 'camera' (depending, of course, on the nature of the thread).
This will categorize this thread with all other threads that have matching tags, whether or not they have the word 'photography' in them.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
