We would like to introduce to you a brand spanking new feature -- thread tags!

Thread tags are basically a tagging system you've been seeing on Slashdot, Technorati and other sites and we at Lowyat.NET didn't want you to feel left out, so we toke the liberty of implementing it ourselves.

Tags are assigned to forums and are unique to each forum, e.g. the Q&A tag in Hardware is different from Q&A in Photography. This allows you to filter tags in a forum without worrying your fav tag in another forum will be filtered as well.

Thread tags are opt-in if specified, e.g. if you select a tag to be filtered (or in less confusing terms, shown) only that tag will be shown. If you choose none, all will be shown since there's not much point staring at a blank forum is there? This allows you to filter all the annoying tags like Chat in Kopitiam.

Moderators may or may not enforce the tagging of threads (like in Jobs and Careers and Garage Sales), and tags are specified for admins since they are supposed to complement subforums.

This is just one of the many new exciting features that you will see in the coming months (admitedly because I'm so busy with work ), although there have been improvements behind the scenes, e.g. new reports hq to track reports better

As usual, feedback is always welcomed and we want to hear your opinions here (e.g. should we make the thread filter expanded by default or otherwise).
