We have talked about hashtags a lot internally over the years.

The core issue is that we're just not sure how useful they are on a forum. They work on Twitter because it's the only way to create a 'channel' of similar discussions. There is no other way to separate out conversations. So adding the tag makes it clear you're talking about that topic.

Obviously, with a forum you have categories, forums and topics. Adding a hashtag would be largely superfluous.

We have a tagging system for content already, and I would say that 98% of Invision Communities do not use it, and of the 2%, a small handful use it in a meaningful way that aids content discovery.

Hashtags are often mistyped further diluting the usefulness. Using your example, on twitter I've seen:

#blacklivematter
#blacklivesmatters
#blm
#blackouttuesday

Twitter actually is smart enough to know these are largely the same topic, so you will often see something like:

Trending
#Blacklivesmatter
Also talking about: #blm, #blackouttuesday

That's a great system but takes a lot of AI/human collating and computing power.

So our current position is simply that adding hashtags won't really increase content discovery in any meaningful way.

Facebook has hashtags but almost no one uses them.

Most hashtags are added for irony, like:

We're not going to add hashtags into 4.5

#sorryNotSorry

This creates a bunch of records and consumes a chunk of computing power and database size for almost no purpose at all.

THAT MADE ME LOL?!

Copied to bug reports, thanks!

Thanks, I'll take a look. We upgraded to 4.5 today so we're merrily tweaking and fixing what we see.

It's now fixed.

So you want something that people can half see most of the time? I don't agree with that.
There are sticky methods I agree with like the one available on Mighty Deals:
https://www.mightydeals.com/deal/8000-cartoons.html?hmref=home
But that's completely different and obviously NOT what you're looking for.
ipsSticky gives you the ability to build actually one or BOTH of these methods if you took the time or asked for a coder to assist you without being vague. An example like that is AMAZING! And would help anyone assist you in creating the method you want. Just saying "Sticky sidebar" really isn't helpful or even constructive.

All fixed, thanks!

All fixed, thanks!

What's your suggestion?

It's very much on our RADAR. Details are sketchy right now and it's not being beta tested until summer, so we're watching closely.

Yes. TikTok embedding is in 4.5.

It's on our RADAR. Video is pretty tricky though. We'd need a 3rd party service to transcode the video and stream it at the right resolution for the current device. This would come at a cost of course.

Noted, flagged for our network team, thanks!
