John Horton Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 When I moved to IPS about a year ago I did not give Prefixes and Tags a lot of thought. I guess I do not understand what I am missing. Any wisdom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Horton Posted February 3 Author Share Posted February 3 FYI - I understand what they do but do not see the great value especially if the users are setting the tags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoelR Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Open tags can become a hot mess very quickly. Closed tags, which you define in advance and can offer per category, can make a lot of sense. It's an easy way to provide another level of organization within your forum boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrantHorizons Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I've had open tags for over 20 years - and very few people bother to add them, or even have a clue what they are. All our static content however is tagged, sometimes in multiple categories, e.g. location, type of thing etc. That is very useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
