I followed Neil’s (@neil) tutorial: “setting up a tag schema like [Car Talk](http://community.cartalk.com/) uses”.

> Tag support is a core feature of Discourse. In this How-To I’ll go through setting up a tag schema like [Car Talk](http://community.cartalk.com) uses. We’ll want to achieve these things: Tags for car makes and car models. Only allow the car make and model tags to be used in certain categories. Car model tags can only be chosen if the matching car make tag is used. Prerequisites Tagging is enabled by default in Discourse (via the tagging\_enabled site setting). If it was previously disabled, ensure it is turned on. In a sc…

I hoped to end up with something where a user could, up near the top of the page by the “Latest” and “Top” options, select first a Make and then a Model (well actually in my case select a state within the USA and then a city within that state). But I’m having trouble achieving that… the user just sees a single list of all the Makes/Models (states/cities).  
When I look at the Car Talks forum site itself, there’s a prominent “Make & Model” button next to “Top”. But when one selects the button nothing at all seems to happen. I posted about that in their site feedback section and was informed that that’s been the case for weeks. I’m wondering if perhaps a recent forum software update has killed that capacity or at least made it dormant.  
Is what I’m trying to do feasible? If so, I’d be grateful for any advice on how to accomplish it. Thanks!
