So this is very possible to most silly question…but I cannot figure out how to “tag” a post. I see where you would flag a post and where you would bookmark a post, but I don’t see where/how you would go about tagging a certain post to a certain subject.

No worries. What you are asking is a very open-ended question. Tags are used for different purposes on different sites, so more details would be useful. On my primary site (Stonehearth), tag use is restricted to staff only, and we use them to help track bug reports. For example, if a bug is repo…

Very helpful. YES, we would be the second. We are looking to use tags instead of sub-categories. In fact, we are a forum of electric vehicles. So keeping track of brands would be helpful by using tags. We would also like to consider using tags to sort content by “sector” or “product”…say a tag f…

You could, or you could let your trusted users do so. Tags are completely dynamic. They only exist when they are in use somewhere. Delete all the topics with a specific tag, that tag ceases to exist. There are two important tag settings (besides turning it on :wink:): minimum trust to min trust …

VERY HELPFUL. I am in. thank you .

I have the same question and this discussion doesn’t answer it. I know how to tag a topic, now how do I tag a post? If that’s not possible, is there another mechanism that works at the post level? Bookmarks work at the topic level. Flags work at the post level, but serve a special purpose. My appl…

[image] jomaxro: It is not possible to “tag” posts, at least in the Discourse usage of the word tag. We’re thinking about developing a plugin that would make this possible. Being able to tag posts would greatly improve two very different applications of Discourse that I’m working on. Do you…

[image] hugi: Do you know if someone else has done this already? I do not. [image] hugi: Do you see any obstacles that would make such a feature difficult to implement? I’m not an engineer, so I’m not the best person to ask this. In my mind how many obstacles you hit are related to ho…

[image] jomaxro: For example, will these posts tags be searchable? That’s another system you need to integrate into. Got it. We’d need to think about that. [image] jomaxro: Will they be visible on the /tags page? Another system. How will users be able to see all posts with a tag? The…

This would be a great feature to allow users to find certain kinds of posts within a topic (e…g, a post containing a link to an external resource)

It is not possible to “tag” posts, at least in the Discourse usage of the word tag. Bookmarks work at the post level, assuming your staff don’t use bookmarks for other purposes, that’d be a good way to mark posts.
