What are Tags?

[RV Traveler]

New to this Forum. Want to post but am wondering what "Tags" are. Can anyone clue me in?

I THINK you may be referring to writing tags . This might help you understand what they are and maybe even how to use them .

For the most part , you can simply type your message and hit the Post button for decent results . Tags are used for different effects and some special purposes .

If you're talking about "Topic Tags," the line that shows up underneath the Subject line when you start a topic, I believe they're used as an aid when someone is using the Search function trying to find a particular topic.

 

Since I've never used Topic Tags, this is only a guess on my part, so someone with first-hand knowledge can either confirm or deny what they're used for.

Almost never used here, couple folks tried them but found little use for them.

 

Better a good title for the topic.

 

Here is one, "How To" on a topic:
