Hmm... I guess it would have been a good idea to leave the original code there, because now I can't remember what was there. But maybe something like this:
Code:
if ($type == 'thread')
{
require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_taggablecontent.php');
$checktags = vB_Taggable_Content_Item::split_tag_list($post['taglist']);
if (!count($checktags))
$errors[] = "At least one tag is required.";
}
