We have an “Open Source” plan site hosted on .discourse.group. Recently, a “Tags is invalid” message has been a problem for our users who are trying to post. I cannot quite figure out why this keeps happening, and how to solve it. I am looking for advice with this. I fear that several new forum m…

:warning:: wild guess Would it be possible that the “c” tag somehow conflicts with the “c” route for category?

Hello, I have same symptoms but you can edit tags with title editing which is works great to me.

I can not reproduce it at this moment, and I have not idea why. Yet this problem has been occurring for a number of weeks before I asked about it here. I am very confused. Can someone from Discourse comment please?

I’m just surprised that it was even allowed to create the tag!

with 2.6.0.beta1 ( b9174c8e8a ), before the fix, I wasn’t able to create it (without any error message though, clicking on save on a tag group with “c” just doesn’t save the group, after a page refresh, “c” tag doesn’t appear). You might try to repro the problem with “none” tag ?

Do you know when this fix will come to .discourse.group-hosted sites? I never paid much attention to releases as everything was conveniently managed and updated by Discourse themselves. :slight_smile:

Ah yes I overlooked that part :thinking: I don’t know about the update for hosted sites but in the mean time you can use “language C” or anything else and correct it to “C” as soon as the fix is deployed, https://your.domain/tag/your-tag click on “details” then “rename” and may I add, for tipping m…
