Some helpful guidelines for those who wish to use hash tags...
1. If you are using a custom font, you must be certain that the 'Switch Editor to Source Mode' button on the editor toolbar (extreme top left) has not been pressed. If the button is highlighted, you'll need to click it to turn off source mode. If you don't do this the '# TAG' tool button will do nothing when clicked.
2. If you are using a custom font, do not place a hash tag at the end of your message! Doing so will confuse the parser by making it think that your hash tag is the only text within your message and you will most likely receive a "your message is too short" error. With custom font formatting enabled, you may however place your hash tags at the beginning of, or anywhere within your paragraphs. This should allow your messages to post normally and result in activation of your hash tags.
3. For those members using default text mode (i.e., no custom fonts), hash tags should simply work. If they don't, please let me know and describe the circumstances.
Note:
There may be other quirks and practices relevant to hash tag posting which we have yet to learn. As I've stated before, we can learn such things together
