(This is an updated tutorial, with photos, of a previously posted topic)

Want to add tags, to make your topic more easily searchable by the forum software, but don't know how?

Just follow the EASY steps below (Windows PC; Other devices may be slightly different):

1. Make sure you are in the correct forum area and click the "Start new topic" button.

2. Enter the title of your topic and then click the "Add tags..." button just below the title. Best to do it right after you name the topic, so you don't forget.

3. Enter the tags (numbers and lower case letters only) by following the posted directions. You can add up to 4 tags. Keep them simple, 1 or 2 words. No need to use quotes.

Examples: hot rod, custom, mopar, amt, truck.  You get the point.

4. Finish creating your post and then hit the "Submit Topic" button. That is all you have to do, you have now added tags to your topic.

 

Tags can be added to previously posted topics, but only within the editing window time frame.

2. You can also use the forum search function. Simply click on the magnifying glass in the search bar to open the detailed search functions.

3. Click "Search By Tags" and enter the tag you would like to find. All topics with that tag attached will be displayed.
