BREWERFAN.NET MAJOR LEAGUE FORUM TAGS

Tags are keywords that describe a topic. They're used for filtering topics in the forums to make them easier to find. The ability to tag threads is a really neat feature that'll go a long way toward helping members locate information on the forum.

In each forum, tags can be found in a "cloud" above the discussion list. Members who start threads and moderators have the ability to add tags to a topic. In the Yuku post editor, a field for including tags is located below the box where you type your message.

Don't be afraid to use this feature when you start a new thread. Also, don't be too afraid of goofing things up. If there's an error or if new tags don't turn out to be a fit, moderators can always make adjustments.

Tips and guidelines:

• When deciding whether or not to create a new tag, please check existing tags to make sure that your new tag isn't adequately covered by one that already exists.
• Try not to create two similar tags. For example, we already have a 'fielder' tag, so we wouldn't need a 'prince' tag.
• Yuku has a 100 tag per forum limit, so we have to economize somewhat by using a few "catch-all" tags. For example...
  • Because there isn't room to tag opposing players and teams, divisional tags are provided: 'aleast', 'alcentral', etc. Please don't tag threads confined to Brewer-specific content with the 'nlcentral' tag.
  • Since topics in this forum encompass three managers, the "brewermanager" tag can cover all of them.
    
  • Brewer coaches have the 'brewercoaches' tag.
  • Former Brewers have the 'formerbrewers' tag.
  • Front office personnel outside of Doug Melvin and Mark Attanasio have the 'frontoffice' tag.
  • All three playoff levels can fall under the 'playoffs' tag.
• Tags consisting of two or more words are possible if they're separated by commas. However, certain common words (and, of, the, etc.) will be dropped from the tag. For instance, "rookie of the year" will display as "rookie year".

  Also, a lot of members may find it difficult to 'reuse' a multiple word tag. It's probably best to write tags as single words.

• If you want to add, delete, or change tags in your thread, follow the same procedure for editing a post.
