    New Thread - Tag Errors

    Seems the board software has some regular challenges when creating a new thread with more than 5 words in the title. Appears there's a limit setting to 5 tags... which is fine. But if your title is more than 5 words it takes them all and then errors... forcing you to edit the tag field down. Sometimes more than once.

    Also noticed it truncates a word or two then complain that the tag must be at least 3 characters...

    I know... quit with the lengthy titles, ZahZoo... but I'm just sayin...

    First pass on this one had the following stupid gripe...

    Tags cannot be overly common words (New).

      I have bitched about this from the word go.

      I should be able to submit my post and be done with it. I don't give a fuck about tags, and am not interested in entering tags or anything beyond what I posted.

      So have to fuck with the error shit is just one extra unnecessary step I have to take.

              I'd love to resolve it, but at this point, I'd say that if I had an option on what to do primarily, it would be to upgrade the VBulletin software to the latest version....

              I can't do that arbitrarily though, it would need both a Sarge approval and donations if $$$ is required for the upgrade software........

                And that still doesn't guarantee all the bugs will be fixed. This entire vbulletin 4 platform has been a mess since day 1. Every site using it has run into issues, and even a handful have reverted to earlier versions, which vbulletin doesn't always offer support for.

                  Can the tags feature be just turned off or made optional?

                    Let me check that out....

                    I agree though, the feature isn't used much at all from what I can tell....
