I don't mind that. Sometimes I forget that field. I know on my last upload (the first attempt that failed) I put three tags in. But, I can't remember now if I added them on the re-upload.
I saw the talk of the clean/explicit options in this thread as well. It would be nice if, when the person hits upload, the page says, "These fields are required." Forcing some tags and forcing a choice on either clean/explicit. (Oh, it would be extra nice if the tags field had a drop down list of used tags. I never know if I'm making new ones up. But, I can't code that up. :P So, I'm not making more work for anyone else.) I'll try and figure out how to add tags now after the fact and go through all my old shows to make sure they have some. b On 3/3/19 5:07 PM, Dave Morriss wrote: > Hi Everyone, > > As you'll be aware, there's a field on the form asking for tags for your > show.
