    sorry, you meant no simultaneously bookmarking elsewhere?

    Thought about deleting account but now i'm glad i tried the toolbar.

    agree

    are you referring to the toolbar or the website?

    you mean bookmarking to sites like delicious?

    the group creator/admin certainly has the right to decide what to do with the group he or she has created. People who have different ideas should set up their own groups.

case-sensitive tags - any chance of it happening? - 383 views

discussion tag case CamelCase case-sensitive help suggestion
  • Wade Ren
     
    there are basically three options regarding the issue of case-sensitive tags

    1. not case-sensitive -- to my knowledge, this option is actually taken by almost all social bookmarking services. please advise if you see otherwise.

    2. case-sensitive for both display and search --- basically treat them as separate tags

    3. case-sensitive for display but not for search. In this case, if you use both "TAGS", and "tags", we need to show just one of the two and merge their usage counts. but which one should be displayed. A simple
    solution is to display the first one used --- for example, "TAGS" instead of "tags", if you used TAGS in any bookmark first. You can also edit the displayed tags of course.

    what do you think of option 3), which is easier to implement than option 2?

    also, note that option 2 can make searching by tags a little problematic.
  • Wade Ren
     
    we hear you. it will be made case-sensitive soon.
  • Wade Ren
     
    well, we are making it even smarter than what you want :-)

    so tag case will be preserved while displaying, but ignored for search.

    in tag cloud, if you used both "book" and "Book" as tags at different times, then we only show the last one you use.
