Hi! This is possibly a silly question, but my posts to the comm show up tagless, even when I add tags. Is that supposed to happen or am I doing something wrong?
I'm sure you're not doing anything wrong, but no, that definitely shouldn't be happening! New tags won't show up until a mod creates the tag, so for example on your most recent post the fandom tag wouldn't work for you because it's never been used before but the author tag and the challenge tag should work fine. I do find tagging can sometimes be a bit randomly buggy but it shouldn't be happening consistently like that and I don't know why it would be. Have you tried adding the tags after you post? Like posting the entry and then clicking 'edit tags' and adding them there. Sometimes that seems to work better for me, especially if you type them in rather than selecting them from the box. But I'm a bit stumped, honestly! I can easily add the tags after you've posted but I'm sure it's annoying not to be able to do it yourself, so sorry I don't have anything more helpful!

That's what I thought too, but none of them show up.

I will try this next time! Thanks for the tip :)
Edited to add: I think the problem arises when using a new tag. I tried posting with already-established tags, and that works. Thanks again! I'll be depending on you for the new tags :)
That IS what it is! Seriously, that never occurred to me because I'm sure that didn't used to be something that happened, I know I've posted to comms in the past and had the other tags stick even if I put in a new one that wouldn't go through. But I guess that was long enough ago that it must have changed, because when I try posting with a sock account, none of the tags show up if I use a new tag as well. Huh, if that's a deliberate site choice that seems strange, but at least the mystery is solved! Thank you for working it out, because I wasn't at all aware that was a thing so it's very useful to know for future reference.
Anyway, yes, I have made the fandom tag for you! I try to get those done as quickly as possible, so it's usually within a day or so at the most.
Thank you! I was just trying to say that I'm able to add existing tags now, just not new tags. 😅 Sorry if it sounded like I was hurrying you. I appreciate the prompt response :D
Oh no, you didn't come across that way at all! Sorry, I should be the one to apologize for kind of jumping on your comment like that but I'd still been trying to work out the problem so I had a bit of a full on "THAT'S IT!" moment there, haha. But yes, existing tags only is the key. And there's no problem with the new tags, most of the reason I try to do them ASAP is that I am more likely to forget if I don't!
