What do #tags actually do?

• by Ian_Mason

  Hi,

  Is anyone able to explain what #tags do? Should you be able to click on them & search for images that have one attached or something?

  I find it hard to keep up. 😦

  Many thanks. 😃

  They will eventually be searchable. Basically it marks the image and groups them, so eventually if you click on the popular hashtags or any tag it will be link to a search with all things that are marked that way. The hashtag feature will be fully implemented in this version of Talk soon, but it wasn't quite ready for launch.
  Cheers,
