A couple of suggestions for tags

[Bobbins]

Not sure if any of these have been mentioned, or are planned but here goes.

1. Read-ahead tags. I.e you start typing in a tag and if it's already been used before it will list it for you to choose. So say I type tod and the tags today and todo have been used previously, they will pop up as suggestions.

2. The ability to type your own tags and select from a predefined list. Currently we can only allow users to either make up their own, or choose from some predefined ones. A combination of the two would also be a nice option.

Read-ahead tags are awesome.

Agree on both suggestions. The first suggestion reminded me Google search.

Count me in too.

Both of those would be great additions to the tagging system. Would make it very much like WordPress's feature that shows you your most used tags, and auto-suggests tags as you type them.

+1.

Another +1 to this idea.

I like to allow members to add their own tags, but it means we're getting a lot of near-duplicates that all lead to different posts. Eg: watermark, watermaking, watermarking photos, and watermarks all only lead to a single thread each, and it would be much more helpful to have a single tag suggested as the user was typing, so only one relevant tag would be used and would then lead to all threads about that subject.

This is one of the reasons I'm not using the tag feature. So +1
