When I try to add a tag into the line on the right side of the subject title in the forum via a ‘+’ - this does not work ( although it is recommended yb the Forum admins ). Neither when hitting the ‘+’ nor when pressing ‘enter’ to make it ‘go in the line’. Is there a special kind of writing or format you need to to handle this?

I think the issue is that you try to add all these tags at once? There is a set of predefined tags, that you can select. You need to select every tag individually and don’t write a list like `tag1, tag2, tag3`. If you miss a tag, please let us know, we might be able to add this tag to the system.

I first checked this with ‘landscape’ only - and it did not find something, same with ‘Portrait’ - than I tried it out with severall of them as on the screenshot. So maybe the ‘+’ behind ‘optional tags’ is still confusing as I understand it that way, that you can type in AND add a tag right after. Instead it means ‘search a tag within the already existing ones’ as it seems. That needed to be expressed differently for better understanding.

I can understand your confusion. We use a standard forum software, called Discourse. We did not change the way tags work. The developers of Discourse are active in [their forum](https://meta.discourse.org/), maybe you could describe your issue to them and they might change the way the forum works 🙂. Unfortunately, for us it’s not possible to modify these things.

Ok, so for the moment pls add orientation, landscape and portrait to the tags …
