Talking New Tagging system

Hello,
As many of you may have started noticing, there is a new section above all the forums and threads titled Tags.

This is a new tagging system I have been working on. It will allow for easy keyword tagging and searching of popular topics here on the site.

What is a tag?
A tag is a keyword or term associated with or assigned to a piece of information (like picture, article, or video clip), thus describing the item and enabling keyword-based classification of information it is applied to. Tags are usually chosen informally and personally by the author/creator of the item and not usually as part of some formally defined classification scheme.

How does it work? Well I'm glad you asked, because without your help it will not work to help our community.

Tag your Threads
When creating a new thread you will be presented with a field under the title to insert desired tags. Just type them in here. You can use single words or multiple words, just separate each keyword with a comma (,)
Example: you type the following: podcast, talking reef, episode (notice Talking reef is two words not separated, this is allowed)

Using tags to find stuff
So now that we have them what do we do with them?
Well first off you will start to notice lists of tags getting generated above every thread and forum like this
new-tagging-system-taglist.jpg

If you see a tag/keyword that interests you just click it.
You will be shown a page of threads that are tagged with that exact keyword, like this here

Other options
Quick lookups -
You will also see a Tag button up in the title bar now too.

Just click this to get a list of tags, as you will see the more a word is tagged the more likely it will appear on this page and the larger it will be in respect to the other tags.
See here for example
new-tagging-system-tag-cloud.jpg

Searches -
You can also search these tags, in the example above you see the search box, well in addition to that a new search dialog is available in the "search" drop down as shown here

I think that the tags combined with the Google search will be really helpful.
