Blogoforum - Tag hierarchy

Edit tags for a post

I just noticed something that could be helpful. If you look at the Wordpress forums (http://wordpress.org/support/), you'll see they use tags there too. However, the entire thread is tagged - not every individual post. This may be against your entire idea, but I think I like that better. Or, it would be nice if someone could add or edit tags to their original post.

Edit and Long Thread Problem

Thanks for the suggestion Jason!

In the future, Blogoforum will let to edit the message and its attributes plus will keep change history.

One of problems which Blogoforum is aimed to solve is long threads. Long thread is a problem:
- people rarely read what's inside thread
- while real knowledge or important and interesting messages can be hidden in the middle of a long thread and rarely who will find them
- during the thread, actual thread subject may change several times, people end up speaking on other things but thread novice can't identify the change
- because of possible subject change, an original poster may scream "Don't put offtopic onto my thread"
- I can continue but I would better do some development

However, a lot of conversations do have thread-like structure. That's why Blogoforum does some steps in this direction: http://blogoforum.com/tag/blogoforum+message+thread+tree/message-threads-on-blogoforum-1848.html

Long Thread or Short Message

This point is interesting. I may change presentation algorithm in a future.

But what I'm thinking about more is - discussion groups (tag groups) and message bookmarking.

Actually Blogoforum can change presentation algo based on what messages are bookmarked. This is interesting.
