Do you put your name in the tags of each discussion?

There is no need to do it because in the discussions list there are links to 'discussions I've started', 'discussions I've responded to' and 'discussions my friends started', so you can find them there. There are only 5 tags shown in each discussion and if everyone was to try it there would be no genuine discussion tags, which would make it more difficult to find any discussion in search results, so I don't think it is the right thing to do.

WELL thinking about it not at all, infact it is a great idea. ya you are right, after a person completes reading what you have to say it is easy for them to jist see who has written it. thats cool, thanks i will try it out in some of my discussions but not in all. no i do not think anything is wrong with any of that

well I guess it is not wrong, I am just wondering doesn't hundreds of searches come up then, and off topic because your name is in them, like if I want to look up dogs, will mssnow come up and the discussion is on how to make your boyfriend happy for example?

I have never though of doing this before. I think it’s really interesting to see my username in the tags of all my discussions and nice to find them on the web as well. I think I must try before I know whether it’s possible to search by using my username. Thanks for sharing this.

No, I can't say that I have ever put my name in the tags. I just use the links in my profile. Discussions I started, and discussions I have responded to. It never occurred to me to do it any other way...lol I don't think there is anything wrong with doing that, I just don't. Brightest Blessings, Mari

It had never occurred to me to do so, aren't you clever - mssnow!

LOL..Thats funny, Ive never thought about doing that..

I used to do such in my early days with myLot with the same reason of able to search for my discussion easily. However, I cannot remember the reason I stopped doing so. Nowadays I skipped tags as I find it meaningless.

No I had not actually thought of doing that, but you have given me a good idea. Thanks for the tips I will try it. Do you find your discussions more easily this way then mssnow?

But, if I want to search for discussions that you've participated on, couldn't I just search it on your activity area or discussions I've responded to in your profile? I think that's what those pages are for.

I haven't done it and I probably won't. My name isn't really relevant to 99.9% of discussions so I won't use it as a tag for them. It doesn't bother me at all that other people do it though. I have seen a couple of different users do it and that is fine by me.

I think it is a very good idea to put your mylot name in the tags of discussions you start as a way of 'spreading the word'. I ill do that with immediate effect. However, I do agree that it would not be right to put your name in tags on a discussion somebody else started. Thanks for raising this, it's a good idea.

nope, no offense but for me that would be silly cause others doesn't like it either

dunno,maybe i should try it:) Then why did you ask that question?I assumed somebody told you it was wrong...

You can search topics by using tags. If everyone would preface their tags with their name it would make tags only useful for that person instead of a whole community. I know some people do it but personally I would not. To each their own.

I don't see why it would be wrong. I've done it a few times myself for the same reason. I don't think it matters what tags you put in, only the most popular ones are going to show up in the "tags list". Sometimes, I post the name of another member in a tag so that I can find their posts if they're someone who writes good responses.

That sounds like a good idea to me. Did not occur to me before. I generally tend to skip the tags as i find them very time consuming. ~pinks~

Dear friend, I never used to put my name, also is there any good side for putting name. But now I will put it as you had done. To to seen the web too.

A good idea which i never thought of. this way, as you said we can track our posts. even though, we have other ways of tracking our posts. but they are grouped under different things like discussion started by us and discussions we replied. keep posting and have fun. Cheers!

it sounds like good.but i am not in the habit of put my name in the tags. i think it is dangrous.you may attract phishing who wait on internet.they probably get some information from you. you should be care about it...
