The other flaw in the scheme is that many people, such as me, will give less than one tenth of a shit about tagging things in their posts.
What is wrong with the existing search feature? Instead of """"going to hasthag #Uyghur"""" you can just search for that word and OH HEY, everything everybody's ever said about Uyghur is right there. Whether they thought to tag it or not.

the argument against it is basically <that is such an ungentlemanlike thing to do>
you could be a special snowflake and have %tags for the pleasure of the interweb oxbryggjians but duplicating an existing system has the advantage of <new users will pick it up>

Actual fancy JS for transferring not strictly necessary—just gotta (a) replace underscores with spaces and (b) hide the # signs in a post-processor.

A Tumblr-style tag field is another possibility, sure. (The hash just [i]is[/i] the symbol of tags these days, just like links are blue, so 'hashtag' just means 'tag'.) Tags would be per-post, not per-thread, so it wouldn't be possible to fit them into the thread title anyway -- maybe you could get an index of the tags used in each thread, but it couldn't be listed on the forum page, since there wouldn't be enough room.
Inline hashtags have one advantage -- it'd be slightly easier to ad...

That's not nearly enough real estate—look again at the kinds of tags they were suggesting. The primary utility would be in digging through large threads with a lot of different kinds of information in them. Think more like the index of a reference book and less like general categories of conversation.

Something like that, but I think it should appear before the thread title like on some subreddits.
And the hashtag styling should be optional. :P

Okay—what do you want instead? A separate tag field like on Tumblr? (We can just leave the # signs out; they get added in later to make it look more Twitter-y for reasons I can't fathom.)

Okay... I'm tempted to do this and I've already got the implementation planned out, but since there was some resistance on IRC I'm gonna wait a day or so for general public comments.

take as an example this post: http://www.incatena.org/viewtopic.php?p=944466#p944466
under the primitive and un-2014 system of phpbb, i either have to remember which page in the thread that is on in order to find it [thus necessitating that i know of its existence] or approximate hashtags by putting a size=1 string like "aslian nonconcatenative morphology infix infixes infixation reduplication incopyfixation" at the bottom of the post, which 1) is Effort 2) is an ugly hack -- and from t...

[quote Pthagnar]well, u can collect post-level tags into thread-level tags
hashtags are probably a good way to manage them, too[/quote]
right, so a large thread forms its own index / table of contents through hashtags. this would be useful for e.g. the larger ZBB L&L threads.
