Angelina But it's there already. If you want to see all topics about "relationships and love" click on relationships tag. I try to assign more or less relevant tags

    Laura

    i personally don't use the tags to search anyway, but i read everything when i am here anyway 😉

    it's just an idea, if it's better than the current system, i'm not sure

      Ines

      I agree.It is not too hard for us,but for a newcomer,it can be harder to find where to post.

      Laura

      And I think you do a great job at it;thank you for managing it.🙂

      Laura

      Maybe it should be emphasized for newcomers,like a popup or similar.Personally,I rarely used tags this way on boards(even if it is not a bad system),so I'm not sure everyone would think to use it.

        Vanessa I thought tags are used almost everywhere these days and people understand how to use it

          Laura

          In the boards I read,there is often a main page,leading to different sub-forums,each one containing the topics related to it,without using tags.

          So,newcomers may not be used to tags.

          Anyway,here,there is all topics on the same page,which can be useful.With categories,there is a risk some people read only a couple of them,and so,not know nor answer the topics in other sub-forums.It is more easy to have a look at all the active subjects here.

            Laura So you want these keywords in the titles or you want categories?

            I don't care about the words, you can also call the upper themes 1, 2 and 3 (which makes no sense), I just want to divide it into upper themes

            Vanessa

            if you are a newbie i would advise you to introduce yourself first, then every newbie could perhaps open up a topic of their own where we could discuss it. but that would only be my suggestion if we stay with the current system

            maybe we could introduce more information on the personal page of the user, so we know directly with whom we write 😉

              I still don't understand. Do you want 3 major sticky (like introductions) topics?

                Laura

                we have a lot of themes, maybe these themes could be grouped into 3 to 5 main themes to make it easier for newcomers 😉

                  Could you list them out? I will merge

                    Laura

                    i admit i have not thought the idea through to the end, i will write again 😂

                    maybe the others also have ideas for the main topics

                    Why not.But,in most cases,their situation already relate to other topics,already used.

                    Angelina maybe we could introduce more information on the personal page of the user, so we know directly with whom we write 😉

                    But it should not be mandatory.

                    Not sure reducing the numbers of tags would make it easier...

                      Vanessa Not sure reducing the numbers of tags would make it easier...

                      Please suggest tags to eliminate/merge

                        Vanessa

                        I admit it is very difficult and I have not yet found a completely satisfying solution 🙁

                        Laura

                        There isn't much,in my opinion.

                        Maybe merging locks with accessories and marriage with relationships,but it would not change much,and I don't think it is necessary.

                          Vanessa

                          probably not 😉 my suggestion was just a basic idea, i think i will withdraw this suggestion until i have an exact idea 😉

                          5 days later

                          I have another idea. Use a tag to hide some topics from the main stream. For example, I did it with archive. You have an access to these topics though the tag only and don't see in the list.

                            Laura

                            let me get this straight

                            when i click on a tag, topics with that tag will be deleted?

                            good idea only most topics have multiple tags

                              Angelina when i click on a tag, topics with that tag will be deleted?

                              If a topic has a particular tag it will not appear in the main list, you must click on that tag explicitly
