While we continuously work to improve your experience with handling tags in the forums, the team is excited to announce a new feature, namely the tag hover.
This is aimed at making it easier for users to get all the information they need about schools by giving them the option to (1) view all posts for a school tag and to (2) visit the corresponding school page on our [Schools section](Find the Best School For You - College Confidential College Search). For non-school specific tags, the hover will display just one option, namely the ability to view all posts for that tag.
How does this “hover” function work on mobile devices which don’t have the ability to hover.
@thumper1, it’s on-click on mobile instead of a hover.
I still don’t find the tags to be very helpful, as people apply them too arbitrarily. It seems easier to use the search function.
I haven’t used tags either. But on another thread, posters just had a good exchange about a school and the current vibe there. It would be helpful for prospective students to see that, but it’s buried in a thread that’s not about this, or any, school.
So, can we tag comments, not just threads, with school names?
