I presume this has probably been a feature for a long time, but I only noticed that you can add labels to threads today. I had some questions about this feature. (Also, I just realized that the labels I'm talking about are specific to the "Into the Woods" subforum, for context.)
1) I can see how to add them, but how do you actually search them? This seems like a very useful feature, to be able to quickly isolate threads that are relevant to a particular topic (especially since this forum emphasizes a lack of separation between labels; this is not a bad thing, but it does mean I need to dig through threads to find things relevant to me), but I can't actually find where to see this.
2) Is it useful to go and add labels to threads that are about a certain topic, so that they can be found more easily, or is this just annoying to the thread creators? Does it alert them? It seems like I am able to add labels to any thread, but is it an unofficial courtesy-type rule to only add labels to your own threads, so you can choose what you want to label them as?
3) I found some typos. "caldotherian" instead of "cladotherian". And, "syntherian" looks like a typo of "suntherian" to me, but maybe it is intentional?
4) And, if it is a typo, is "suntherian" really so separate a topic from just "therian" that it warrants a separate label? Same with "copinglink" and "otherlink" both being labels.
5) Relatedly, I think "fictionflickering" might be a good label addition, but maybe it isn't prominent enough to add?
