Community Tags

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I noticed that when I added the free resources for this month that they by are missing Community Tags. Previously there have been only a few community tags missing from resources, only on occasion. I don't place a great deal of stock on these collective tags as they can be misleading or wrong.

However I do tag each acquired resource on my own using the MP method. I prefer this over the broad cattegories of Type used by Logos.. At times I look at the community tags to better determine what tag I will use.

So now I question, are community tags being dephasized or is this just an annomily this week?

You have confused community notes i.e. goneburgers with community tags which are very much alive.

I regularly come across books with no community tags, from ten years ago to now. I just assumed that the books were not yet tagged by enough people (as in a certain threshold of people have to tag a commentary as 'exegetical' before 'exegetical' shows up as a community tag). I'm probably completely wrong! How do community tags work, anyway?

Bradley pointed out something that I'd forgotten, and which is admittedly somewhat unclear with the identical naming.

Community Tags in Program Settings refer to Library tags that others have applied. In the Library info tab we list tags that other users frequently use on the specified resource, like "bible" "english commentary" etc.

Community Tags in Visual Filters refers to resource tags from other users, the kind that would appear in the Context Menu if you right-click the word, like <Place Jerusalem> or <Person Jesus>.

That's why the VF option is there even with the Program Setting set to No; they're unrelated features. I knew that, but when I replied earlier it hadn't clicked.

Well, OK! This forum really does media great!! Why small, when it can be … huge!!

Actually, I don't know what community tags do. I've never seen them. Per the above, I checked my Info box for books in my library. I don't see anything beyond starting a tag, and unrelated words to the book at hand.

If you're not seeing them, you probably have CTs turned off in Program Settings.

So I fixed the issue. I went to the program settings and selected not to show Community Tags - Quit Logos - launched Logos - reselected show community tags. Then the missing community tags populated. I should have done this first but I did not recall that it is an opitional program setting.

You're a genius. I operate with the web setting off and of course, the community-everything is grey'd out. So, they never appeared. Now that I know (thank you), they'll remain off.
