The trivial way of explaining is that there are no gazzilion `<SCRIPT>` tags sprawled through our HTML.

Hi there,

I just upgraded (1.3.beta1) and I do not see the tag field. Is there an option to activate somewhere ?

Hi @Matthieu,  
As far as i know, the tag functionality is optional. You can install the official [Discourse Tagging plugin](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-tagging) easily by following [install a plugin instructions](https://meta.discourse.org/t/install-a-plugin/19157).

Reading the official post from @codinghorror:

> **[Discourse 1.2 released](https://blog.discourse.org/2015/02/discourse-1-2-released/)**
>
> With the help of our community and our customers, we’re proud to release Discourse 1.2 today!

I have thought it was automatically included with the discourse 1.2 upgrade. Actually it just mean the plugin is stable.

Thanks @DavidGNavas for the install instructions.
