Fantastic iteration! I love the tags, so I was hoping ya'll wouldn't scrap them.

My ONLY small feedback is for the "Under title" option, to have the tag appear first always instead of after the "Watched" or Poll icon, just so the tags all align left properly.

But amazing update! I want more tags! Opinion/LTTP/RTTP/Advice/Entertainment/Sports/Politics would be awesome.

If I'm understanding your issue right, the OP mentions that they appear on the front page regardless; for everyone. There is a whole section about it.
Oh this is embarrassing.

Nevermind then; I should read better.

It doesn't say anything about thread titles inside the actual threads, though. You know, inside the header at the top of each page. Though I suppose it might be related.

I wonder if it would be a good idea to make them mandatory after all the new tags are introduced.

It's a bit weird to have a sales thread with a correct tag and then underneath another sales thread but without a tag.

What are the chances of an option to completely hide threads that are tagged in certain categories?

For example, an option to completely hide all threads that are tagged as "Spoiler", even before pressing the ignore button, hiding the thread title completely from the thread list?

EDIT: Already an option. Thanks, jesu!

That's already doable.
In Preferences, right at the bottom.

The Under Title option seems perfect, sticking with that one.

Sorry if this has been answered already, but how do I add a tag to a thread. Haven't found the option while editing an old thread or making a new one.

Without going into the whole fiasco that finally led to a thread, I just want to say I really like the new, first option.
It's really good, so thanks for that.

Excellent work, default is great and giving the other 2 as options for those who want them is really nice. Props.

As others have said, a way to hide tags in notifications would be amazing if possible.

one small thing: is there a way to not have the tag after the thread title in the title of the page?

screenshot2020-08-05akpjl3.png


i don't think it serves any purpose there. the tag under the title is great and when someone clicks a thread they see it, no reason to have it in the title of the page as well.

also, may i suggest adding a tag for "deals"? there's so many threads that would benefit from it. the regular eshop/psn/xbl sales threads, for example.
This is a tradition that is likely never going to die. It also works for those who decide to hide the tags.

For sure. Also, I see sales threads indicating both discounts and financials. There should be separate "Sales" tag and a "Deals" tags.

I went to suggest the exact same thing as the post above me. Please make a different tag for Sales numbers threads and Deals threads if possible.

I hated it before, for some reason my brain is just trained to ignore things that look like that, like I'm seeing advertised sites on Google search and skimming past them. So I found it really distracting.

Way better now, good job!

So you can't add it to threads that already exist, which is what I was trying to do.


Apparently only staff can do that, yes. However, should you want to add tags to an existing thread, whether you're the OP or not, you can report said thread and make a case for it to get a particular tag, and we will proceed with it!

Sorry if this has been suggested before but how about a "Image Heavy" tag, for threads like the Screenshot thread, the Paintings thread, various art/photography thread?

OK, I guess it... kind of goes without saying that these particular examples are image-heavy lol, but maybe it'd still be useful for some threads where it's not so obvious.

Is there a thread for general feedback? I'd love to be able to follow a user so I'm notified of when the post threads. Specifically the usual suspects that post threads when the stores have digital sales.

Quick and comprehensive - perfect!

Thanks Delphine and the other staff involved for putting this together. Really happy to see a feedback thread again on Era even if it's just for one feature like this as I hope it leads to more. :>

Not sure the degree to which you're aware of this so sorry if I'm saying something you already know - you can actually follow other users currently. But I just don't think it does anything, so they'd need to add that.

It may be off intentionally, though, as I could see how it could be abused? Dunno.

It's a bit weird that the feature is enabled without any functionality. Should either be deleted, or at least notify you of thread creations or something.

Thanks. I think I was already aware of this feature but don't get alerts for new threads, unfortunately.

Nice that you offered the option, but I will never understand the reason people react so crass to such minor changes.

Would it be possible to have a Mafia tag for Mafia/Werewolf game threads? I know that's very specific to one community only, but I think that would make more sense than just tagging them with OT or leaving them untagged tbh.

The "sub title" (site default) and "suffix" for thread tag mode user preference option has been expanded to cover more of the site.

Is it planned to make tags mandatory?
At the moment their use is greatly diminished by the uneven usage. I almost missed the Nvidia news about the September 1st event because it had no tag...

I primarily use this site for News, so this has been an absolute godsend, HOWEVER--

What's the right protocol to report threads that are 1000% not news? There lots of threads daily that should not have the tag. Even from mods at times. I've complained in replies a couple times but that's just adding an irrelevant response. However reporting the OP post sounds a bit extreme?

Just report the OP, it's fine.

There is a bug where new threads is getting 'news' as a default tag when it shouldn't be. This is being worked on.

can we please get rid of the tag at the end of the thread title in the page's name? it just looks weird and doesn't really serve a purpose. if it's not gonna be removed, it should at least be separated by something other than a space, that makes it seem like it is part of the title.

Would it be possible to have a COVID tag? While I do participate in threads, and do read through the news... I'd really prefer to control how much I see of it to stop/limit any doomscrolling, without just hiding every thread that comes up.

That would be a very good idea. I'd like that as well.
