Hey Bryce, something I have been thinking about and wanted to pass it by you and see what the other members thought. I know that the forum has a search feature but it's very generic and hard to really get what your looking for in past posts. Most of the time we are looking for specific info that has probably been discussed and the question answered already. but we don't know how to find it . Just run a search on Coil Test and you get an answer of anything that ever had the words Coil and Test in it. No one has the time to wade thru all that.
If it was possible that the site could be enabled to " TAG" Posts. These tags would be shown as subjects like COIL TEST, SENSITIVITY, BATTERY,DEPTH,DIGGING TOOLS, SETTINGS, just to name a few. This way a member could bring up all posts about that subject. I think that the moderator would be a good person to decide what goes where and if a post is tagged at all. The only reason a moderator would Tag a post to any category would be if it seems it is good info on a certain subject of interest and would benefit members now and later looking for that same subject. With all the experience that's on this forum I believe in a short time we could have an easily accessible library that most sites would envy. I stress that the posts would be viewed exactly as they are now and run their normal course in the forum. It's just that a member could chose from a list of subjects and bring up all posts related to it. I'm not a Geek but I do know that programming for this is basic stuff and not hard to do. Just throwing a suggestion out there Bryce, I know you ain't the head cheese, but maybe you can pass it on. Thanks
