I’m trying to wrap my brain around the different things listed in the Preferences → Notifications area. So we can automatically Watch/Track new topics in specific Categories and Tags, but what are those exactly?
I’m assuming that the Categories are the big 5 listed on the main forum page:
- Deal Chatter
- Shenanigans
- Artist Central
- Everything But Woot
- Mortimer & Monty’s Info Desk
But what about the tags? Are those the subs under each category? (Boxed in Red)
If so, are there more tags than what is listed? Can additional tags be created? Can users create tags?
Really, I want a Tag for DICE GAME or something where all the contests go so that I can find them first to win we can find them easily.
Looking again, it looks like “Shirt Derby” is a category as well.
So what are tags?
Categories are the big 5 that you see on the main page and the sub-categories you see within each one.
The tags are show on each thread when assigned:

Hi TT, I am not sure if you can still respond from this post since the last posting was in Nov 201, all of the sudden my posting show very different the everyone else. I am not sure if I have touched something that has changed my setting. I do not see the same icon like everyone else when I am posting and I noticed a green button showing as tracking. I am lost. Help me please!
Hi there. Not sure exactly what your describing.
The tracking button is where you can select to track or watch a thread so if there’s activity, you get a notification in the top right.
Can you give me a screen shot?
What I am talking about is when you see a post from someone and you like the post then you press the heart shape to show that you did like the post, for example see the attachment where it shows next to comment it shows all the icons to be use, the heart, the edit, the flag, etc. Every time I post does not show the heart.
Please see my all my icons next to comment and see yours, they are different. They used to be the same. I am not sure if I touched something that changed my settings. I might not be making any sense. If you cannot figure this out that is okay, at least I can still post which is what is important. Thank you so much for all you do!!!

The heart on your own post won’t show up until someone else “hearts” it. You can’t “heart” your own post 
Is that what you’re asking?

Ahhhhhhhh. Yes as @mtn3pitt noted above, you don’t have a heart on your own posts but you will see it if someone likes your post like I did on the post I’m replying to.
Yes! Thank you so much. I love reading everyone post. It is a lot of fun.
Thank you TT, Mystery solved! Now I know
