I still can't get the add tags tool to progress.. No matter how many content items per page I put, or how short of a date range I put it just sits on those items. Some times it will show "processing complete - proceed" at the bottom, but if it click it, it still doesn't move on to the next set or anything.
Thanks!

I spent a lot of time with the tags functionality because it seemed like a really useful feature that I wanted to leverage. I applied tags then I deleted them with the reset option as you did. It all worked properly for me in terms of the mechanics of applying and removing tags but the problem was once tags were applied, it resulted in an enormous amount of database activity, which I believe had to deal with the Tag Cloud functionality in VBulletin. I ended up trying a few things to address that. I changed some parameters to reduce the number of tags in the cloud, I tried to narrow down which subforums had tags applied, but nothing I did actually worked. The symptom that consistently appeared is that posts would temporarily disappear in threads. I think the excess of database activity somehow caused the post index to get corrupted. I tried to get support and in general have found DragonByte to be very good from that perspective but in this case in the end they weren't able to help me. I ended up having to turn this off. I have a pretty big/busy forum. It might work with a forum that has a smaller database and less activity.
