1. Yes, it's still a setting.
2. Yes, it filters by the forum it's under, like before.

You're correct about how it works.
I'd like to make such a change in the app, it's just ... complicated. The way IPS maps between tags and the content they apply to has no logical connection to that content type's search identifiers, which makes a generic solution all but impossible (as far as I'm aware). If we were only concerned about topics, I could say 'limit the tag search to the current forum' easily enough--but I don't know a way to do that and also have it work for content, and downloads, and every other tag-supporting app out there.

Probably the spaces, yes. I'll look into it. May not be quick.
Could you clarify what you mean by showing on the forum index? That could mean a lot of things.

Big fix release is out. Get it while it's hot.
The only outstanding issue I know of is paging on the tag management tool. It's a core bug, regression since 4.1.6. I've raised it with IPS. Nothing more I can do.
 
What's New in Version 3.1.4
Added search index support when editing/removing/recaching tags. Fixed schema 'error' on support tool (missing MySQL int default on an unsigned column). Fixed text wrapping in the tag cloud. Fixed sorting in the tag cloud; will now pull the top N results, then sort. Fixed a possible EX2 error on forum edit. Fixed forum descriptions showing stale prefixes with 'show prefixes as subcategories' enabled. Fixed default tags/prefix settings not saving. Fixed various errors with added tags and search forums on the mass-add tool.

@Ryan H. new version installed, no EX2 error now when attempting to edit forums. Cheers.

Congrats on the release and thank you for maintaining the application.  

I don't experience any such problem. I know others have been able to install this release as well. Not sure what to tell you.
I'll have to look into it.
Not yet. My time is limited. I have a bunch of bug reports collected that I plan to investigate sometime in the next week.

Probably out of my control. If they show up on desktop but not on mobile, that means those pieces are being explicitly hidden by the responsive CSS. You could certainly modify your theme to show them, but that won't be part of the app.
Thanks for the suggestion. I think that's a bit of a special use case / out of scope for this app, though. You're welcome to ask around for custom development, but it's not something I plan to add in the foreseeable future.
 
Please clarify the actual error, and send me the related log (from uploads/logs) if possible. 'red message' doesn't tell me much.
 
That would be a massive behavioral change. Not likely to happen.
 
Please try it again, then send me recently modified log files (from uploads/logs). That's not an error I can reproduce.
 
Not a problem I'm aware of. I'll have to investigate and get back to you.
 
You can ignore that warning (there is a button to skip it). Nothing is actually wrong, everything will work fine. I'll make a change in the next update to make it go away.

What's New in Version 3.1.3   
Released Just now
Fixed possible group error on tag edit in IPS 4.1.4+. Fixed potential errors on node duplication and saving. Fixed an error when adding tags with the mass-add tool. Improved tag manager on IPS 4.1.6+; tags will now be split out by app and area.

Just a suggestion. Make an Activity Stream of the actual Tag - and use RSS to feed it by email. Should be possible....

No, sorry. I try to keep everything intuitive and give description instructions otherwise. If you have any specific questions, ask away. The worst part is probably creating and assigning prefixes to forums (etc).
I don't understand what you mean.
I can't tell from your description. There could be other search constraints (a particular app or forum) that is preventing it from returning other results. Or maybe it's an outdated cache/search index.
Again, sorry, I don't understand the question.
Please go in FTP to uploads/logs/ to find your error logs, download 2015_11_29.php, and PM it to me. That should tell me what the actual error is.
Do those results that don't have the prefix anymore still have it as a tag? IPB won't let you search for a prefix specifically, just a generic tag/prefix search. So any that don't have it as a prefix probably still have it as a tag. Depending on how you changed the prefix, if they are still there as tags, that may or may not be a bug. Otherwise, if no tags, could be an outdated tag cache--try recaching from this app's tools.

No. All you need is to create the prefix, and enable it for that forum (edit forum, Tags & Prefixes tab).
I don't know why that would be. Try rebuilding the tag cache, under tools.
My system leverages the built-in tag system, yes. But there's more to it than that. The Tags page you were looking at shows all uses of tags and prefixes across the entire nsuite, and lets you edit or delete those in bulk. You don't create tags on that page. You can also allow open tags (users can set their own), in which case those tags will not be under the Posting > Tags settings, but their usage will be shown on my Tags page. Hope that makes sense.
Okay, well, I need a log of it so I have something to go by. Try this: Make the error happen, then go to that uploads/logs folder and find the most recently modified file(s). Please send those to me.
I haven't seen such an issue. Nothing should prevent you from applying tags to a topic. If you can send me forum details to investigate, though, I'll see what I can figure out.
Prefixes would seem most appropriate--that would make it show up before/in the title everywhere, whereas tags don't always display. I would create those four prefixes, use the bulk add tool (not working for you, I know; I need more info) or a saved action to apply those prefixes to all topics in their respective forums, then move them all into your new unified forum. Then set up the new forum so that all four prefixes are active, and users are required to select one.
Yes. Each forum has its own setting for allowed tags and prefixes. Sounds like you found that though,

No. The app removes the open prefix option, you have to set each one up in the admin panel (Manage Prefixes) and then assign them to content containers (forums, etc.). Then you'll see those prefixes as a separate dropdown above the tag input. See the app screenshots and such.

I'll look into it.

Oh, I see your problem. It's taking the first 75, not the most popular 75. You're not (as?) concerned about how it actually displays on the frontend.

Scratch that, it was something I caused myself.
It works perfectly fine with 4.1. Fully compatible, so far as I can tell.

Thanks!
I'll see what I can do about that.

I haven't tested. But there's no reason it wouldn't.

I just pushed up a new version. This is the culmination of everything I've wanted to do for the past, oh, years.
Settings should now work for all tag-enabled apps, not just forums, and there's a new Tag Cloud widget.
The generic node support should work out-of-box, but I only had two applications to actually test it with. It's fine for Forums and Calendar. I can't guarantee compatibility with all possible third-party applications, but let me know if you run into problems.
 
What's New in Version 3.1.0
Added ability to use custom tag/prefix settings with all tag-enabled content types. Added a highly configurable Tag Cloud widget. Added min/max tags settings overrides. Changed prefix behavior to store separate from predefined tags. The closed tags list does not have to include prefixes anymore. Fixed a possible error on search results.

@GrooveOnBeat
Ahh your right haha thanks im such a noob lol

I love this app haha

Yay finished all the tags 

I've considered it, sure. I intend to do something about it in time, same as for expanding it to other apps. Been putting some plans together. Haven't started anything yet though.
