I have turned on tagging. I have created a post with a few tags and then rebuilt the cache.

mydomain.com/tags.php shows the tags, but I do not see the tags on the forumhome.

Also, from within tags.php, if I search for a tag (which I can see right above the search box) I get..

"Invalid Tag specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator"

What am I missing?

I'm pretty sure the tag cloud doesn't show up on the forumhome page unless you manually put it there (it isn't a default option).

As for tag searching, hover over the link and see what it says and if the url is complete.

As far as the tag searching, it appears if I enter tags "Fun Game" into the post, and then later search the tags for "Fun" or "Game" I get the error, but "Fun Game" does work.

*Edit: The keyword seperator was a mistake I made in the Tagging Options.

Any idea what I need to edit into the template to get the cloud onto the Forum Home?

There are mods to put the tag cloud in various locations. Do a search in the mods forums.

I have seen the tag mods, but I didn't realize that a mod was needed. I assumed if I installed a tag mod, it would interfere with the built in tagging system. Thanks

If the mod is for a version of vb that has tagging as a default option, then chances are it works with the built in tagging system.
