Use of TalkGraphics Thread Tags

This is a suggestion on how to use Thread Tagging for use in the Xara Cloud and the Dear Xara Forums.

Every new Thread has the mechanism just before the Submit New Thread to include Tags.

My suggestion is simple:

• The OP adds a Tag of 'bug' when reporting a Bug with xara cloud or any XDA.
  
  • This can be refined to 'bug#OP-name' so the OP can readily track their raised Bugs.
  
  
• A Xara Staff member adds a Tag 'logged' when the Bug has be acknowledged in their defect application.
• A TGer, not Xara staff, has the opportunity of adding Tag 'fixed' after Xara has reported a solution has been deployed.
  
  • Equally, 'fixed' can be used by the OP as a Withdrawal; Xara can record such as NFF, NFA, Withdrawn or User Fault internally if it requires a closure state.
  
  
• The Tag 'feature request' is handled is the same fashion.

The benefit is those with an interest can quickly track progress.
Xara saves time in not needing add a Post when the Bug/Feature Request is being 'logged'.

Existing Threads can have Tags added retrospectively so we can all start collating Threads to help Xara.

Threads worthy of a read over:

• nugget: https://www.talkgraphics.com/tags.php?tag=nugget

If you think a Thread should be Closed:

• close: https://www.talkgraphics.com/tags.php?tag=close
  
  • This allows any TGer to flag a stale Thread or one that has petered out so that a Mod can address the matter.
  • The neat part is you do not have to enter a Response so when you are browsing TG, consider adding a close Tag to help in the housekeeping.
  • You do need to be logged in to TG - it will be nice seeing you.
