The tagging system has now been recoded and added to file pages across the download database. All the original tagging suggestions have been retained and the system dynamics have remained unchanged. Users suggest tags for files and if two other users agree (for a total of 3 tag suggestions) then the tag becomes "confirmed" and the file can then be found via that tag.

Going hand-in-hand with the ability to tag files is the ability to search for files via their tags. This has also been released and is now available for use. As before, the more confirmed tags there are in the database the more useful the tag search feature becomes so get tagging!

A slight edit will be made to the system over the coming days to allow file authors to directly tag their files (removing the need for 2 others to agree with the tagging suggestion), but I figured it best to get the current system out now and tweak it a little later.

Enjoy!

This is just terrific; it will save me hours of slogging through the category system.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you

There's a little bug I've found in tag search...
I've made a search, watched what I've got and am standing in the third page of results. I choose other tags and press 'submit' again. I get my new results, but still am standing on the third page of them.
In short, it doesn't reset the page to 1 when making a new search.
Hope that's useful.

Just amazing. I checked the site 2 days ago and the advanced search was released. And now the tagging system too! And the site still runs smoothly. Well, I think I would need weeks to do this...
