Tags no longer work

    The tags do not work on my posts any longer.

    I tried the fix suggeste here
    http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic.php?id=27143&replies=9

    3 or 4 times (logging out, logging in ; closing browser, rebooting) and it doesn't help.

    Posts do not appear in the tags categories they're put in when the post gets posted.

    Does anyone have a suggestion, or how to bring this to the attention of the web administrators?

    Maybe you need to clear your cache and restart your computer, to see that it's working? Cuz I just went through every tag on your first 3 entries (there were a lot of them, LOL) and every tag was indexed on WP. In fact, almost every tag, you're the featured author.

    ;-)

    thanx -- I've seen that happen episodically as I've tried to fix this problem -- but they seem to disappear, and they do not reappear as one of the list of posts under that tag

    e.g., under Democrats my post is at the top -- it goes away eventually -- but its not listed anywhere around the "5 hours ago" under other tags, like "Politics" or "barack obama"

    Any chance this problem is being caused somehow by this improvement:

    That's a nice feature, but if the programming for it is interfering with the "tags" categorization of posts, well then that's a big problem

    If you have too many tags, they autimatically dont show up on the tag surfer...

    I know the tag cloud is limited to 45 tags, and I have several hundred. The cloud always shows the same ones. Is it supposed to change, and if so, which 45 is it supposed to show? Most recent?

    Nobody knows. I don't see the point of keeping it a secret, either. Might be most used, though.
