I know not everyone on tumblr has had the opportunity/unfortunate surprise of discovering that the tagging system’s small quirks – but I feel like it’s a concern that every rp blog with a hyphenated url has, so maybe this will help a little. 🙂
See, the tagging system recognizes hyphens (or, “dashes”, if you prefer) as spaces between words/characters, not as actual hyphens. So, if you’re going to post a thread/scene/whatever, and tag it, make sure you run the words all together minus the hyphens.
Example: the-scottfitzgerald would be tagged thescottfitzgerald, for the sake of the system.
It’s really that simple, everyone. 🙂
I know this isn’t exactly rocket science or news, but some people are still unaware of it and if sharing this post helps to cut down on the number of missed starter threads and miscommunications, then that’s what counts. So!
If you or any of your followers are rp blogs, hyphenated url holders, or both – reblog!
I just went through all my rp blogs and corrected hyphenated tags for just this reason.
