Changing Tags

February 16, 2005 7:02 PM

I've started tagging my AskMeFi posts and realized that in some instances, the resulting answer(s) would serve as valuable tags. Not knowing what the answers are going to be when asking a question, I hope we'll eventually be able to change/add tags once a live question has been answered.

This has been asked about the Blue before, so I assume the same goes for the Green, but it adds an interesting dynamic to tagging a post when you don't even know a post will require a certain tag until the question's been answered...

Don't count your ponies.

I know, I know... this is the question that sparked the post, tho...

This really isn't a feature request, per se, since I believe Matt said it was coming... I just thought it was interesting.

I think my tags DVD-R and DVD+R will break the system, maybe they can be edited.

yeah, editing will be coming soon, after I get all the ask mefi tag bugs worked out.
