New Tag Suggestions

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

If someone asked a what lights question and searched for the tag 'lights' would a single tag of 'bike lights' return that thread?

No is the short answer. Lights will return lights and then searching on that tag shows all threads with that tag. Searching on a tag is simply selecting the tag rather than searching for all tags with lights in it. Hope I have explained that one... you are simply selecting the search term in the same way as you select it to add the tag to a thread....

Understood , thanks. I was again editing as you were answering so My edited question above re does light returning lighting has been answered too.

In that case I do believe the word lighting also merits its own tag.

OK, I've made lighting a tag as well.

You can search for multiple tags eg "lights, dynamo" would return all threads with "lights" and "dynamo" tags. I think.

I'm currently investigating an add-on that enhances tags by allowing grouping of similar words under a single parent tag. I'll post more if I decide to deploy it.

Cheers,
Shaun

Tried to add 'single speed' to this thread, but it is not on the list.

Is 'fixed wheel' on the approved list, or does that need adding too?

Done

Can I suggest when you add "Done" to something on this list, you also "like" it? Then the user will get a notification.

Won't they get an alert saying the post has been altered?
Mod: I don't think you do?

I think you get alerts for posts that are moved or deleted but I'm not sure you do for a modified post?

Mod edit. You can get alerts if the correct box is ticked

I've never had a notification about any of them, I think. Certainly not when there has been an edit here, nor when my posts were swept up in a tread cleanup - which is probably a good idea. If someone never notices their posts are gone, what harm does it do?

Mod Edit - its a new feature after a recent system update. But the box is optional and we have to remember to tick it... new programming of the mods is required.

Very true!
