At this stage, glorum testing as a model should be complemented with a second instance of the software on another domain (ie. with a declared focus on programming or gossip). text/html 2007-03-05T11:34:53+01:00 http://www.glorum.com Glorum_Golem [Glorum_Golem] I have a solution.

Here's one way: offer the poster a pull-down menu of preset broad categorizations. He can choose one (or choose not to) in addition to whatever tags he selects. The broad categorization acts as a "super tag", weighting higher in searches, adding highest-priority structure, etc. This solves your problem and staves off chaos in very busy forums. Obviously, the broad categorizations will be configurable b text/html 2007-03-05T11:36:35+01:00 http://www.glorum.com Glorum_Golem [Glorum_Golem] negative feedback: the "#" and "@" signs are way too ge ... http://www.glorum.com/view/104 negative feedback: the "#" and "@" signs are way too geeky. This software has great potential beyond a tech crowd, so it's poor marketing (IMO) to configure it this way on your demo site. Will turn off general interest webmasters. text/html 2007-03-14T15:32:42+01:00 http://www.glorum.com troels [troels] The overall design adds a bit to its geekyness.

I will return to it. The # and @ signs were just killed.
