Tags are really " helpful labels that allow you to find useful posts quickly"

(---> Search box)

Hello "ted",

look at this, please

****************:

What are tags?

Tags are like helpful labels that allow you to find useful posts quickly. They appear at the bottom of questions and posts. When you write a post you should add relevant tags to your own posts and questions by typing them in the tag box. By clicking on a tag you will be able to find all the questions and posts that have the same tag, making browsing much easier.

Hi Ted

When you go to ask a question and you write your question in the box, there is a box underneath entitled 'Tags'. In that you type a word, which is known as a tag, that is relevant to your question. For example, in your question 'Has anyone found exercise helpful for ataxia' a possible word or tag would be 'exercise'. You can add as many tags as you like to a question, just separate each word/tag in the box with a comma.

Hi Ted,

It's very helpful to tag a question. Tagging puts it into a catagory. It makes it so much

easier to search for a subject you want information on. A tag simply refers to the subject

of your question. I hope this explanation is correct and helpful!

I never use tags anyway. I prefer to keep up to date by looking at the most recent questions and blogs on the main page. I don't find tags much helpful to me. I've also noticed that there are no tags displayed on the home page. They only show up in the questions and blogs link.

[jurgen in reply to Hidden]

But looking through the list of tags & click one

is a lot quicker.

I always tag mine, but agree with Iain and have never actually found them useful.

I am happy though for the admins to add tags, or change them even if they want to if they believe their tags would be better.

I am also happy for the admins to add tags to my posts if they wish.
