    How do you add tags?

    I know how to do this when creating a new post or article. My question is about adding tags to threads that already exist. How do you do this?

    In vb4, there was a list at the bottom you could add a tag too. In 5 - it just doesn't seem to be there.

    On my site, tagging is set up, permissions are correctly configured to allow all users to add tags to other threads ... but no matter what I try, I can't find an option to add tags to an existing thread. Is there something I am missing?

    You have to click on edit for the first post of the thread and there you will see the option to add tags.

      Choose "Edit" at the bottom of the starter post and you can add them just like on any new post.

        That works for mods and thread starters. What about to add tags to another thread?

        There is a permission to allow users to post tags to threads started by others, but they won't have an Edit button...

          At this time they will need to be able to edit the topic starter.

            Gotcha. And since I don't want regular users to be able to edit anyone's posts, I guess tagging is out for them now. Thanks!

              Adding tags
              by Ron G
              Is there a modification or setting change that will allow me as forum administrator to add tags to a post? My users are not designating tags and my tag cloud is not populating.

              Edit post - Tags
              by dustoff99
              I tried to edit one of my users post today to add a tag to it. It will not save. I can add a tag when I create a post, just not edit a user's post to add one.

              Any ideas?
