Hi everyone, my name is Reid and I do work for Zoints. I am not an engineer for them but I can help with some of the problems you are facing or will be able to redirect you to someone who can help as well as taking your suggested features and giving them to the engineers who could make them happen.

I apologize that the support here has been lacking but I will do my best in the future to ensure that everyone gets a response in a somewhat timely fashion. I will be going back the last two or three pages to answer the questions that have been left.

Hi xcingix,

I do remember working on a problem for some forum that had the work geek in it (we have several) so was that you or are you still needed help? If so, open a ticket at network.zoints.com and we should be able to sort this problem out.

First one, is it possible (has someone come up with a solution) to have the list of tags on forumdisplay "weighted", ie more popular tags are larger, as is the case with the regular tags cloud?

And, is there a way to have the popular tags cloud on the forumhome yet?

I've read and searched through this monster of a thread and not seen a solution to either of these requests/tweaks.

Thanks.

Hey there mini2,

I will let the engineers know of that request as I am sure it wouldn't be difficult since that style is used elsewhere in Zoints. I can't guarantee anything, but I can also see the use some might have for that and hopefully it's doable.

In our next release, having the popular tags cloud on forumhome (and with popular ones more weighted) should be a reality as I've seen it on a test release we have.

Hi Hayko,

It's kind of like the 'Different Strokes for Different Folks' as I can't imagine every forum needing it, but I think most forums find it useful and depending on how much the users use it, it can become quite a nice indexing system for them and future members versus using just the search system. If the tags are accurately used, it builds a link from one to the next that if a user was interested in one thread, he might be interested in another thread although he was able to find it through the tags system much more easily.

Think about a person interested in dogs on a forum, they can search for "dogs" and get all the threads with the word "dogs" on it. That's great of course, but what about a thread talking about German Shepherds where the word "dogs" was never mentioned, if tagged with it, a user could find it through that link better than the search system.

I hope that answers your question.

Hi MotMann,

At this time, making automatically generated tags in the way you mention is not possible. You can go back and tag old threads, but that's about it.

As for tag settings for vBSEO, there is quite a few threads on network.zoints.com so I would advise you to go read through some of those to see if you can find a solution that satisfies. Frankly, I forget the various suggestions I used to get my forum's tag system to display the way I wanted so I don't want to lead you down paths that I am unsure where they go to.
