What are the little blue tag things?

<p>Ok, so I have finally ask. What are those little blue tags or whatever things at the end of some thread titles? And who puts them there? Some appear to indicate the subject matter but many are just plain vulgar.</p>

<p>They’re there because you can search all the forums by their tags… they’re meant to contain keywords relevant to the topic. It doesn’t seem like many people really use them, though.</p>

<p>Left clicking doesn’t seem to do anything much less enable a search feature.</p>

<p>Right clicking brings up some key words, but (not so much on the UT forum but others) many times it has to do with sex, what your sister likes, bodily functions, four letter words, insults, etc. which in no way is relevant to the topic. That’s why I wondered who puts those up and why.</p>

<p>Yea, they’re like the tags that you find in Youtube. If someone enters a phrase in the search engine that contains words in your tag list, then it shows up with a high priority. Most people don’t use them cause they don’t know how to, or they’re too lazy too…like me haha.</p>
