[Site Feedback] I'm now starting to think adding the course-forum TAG is pretty useless

Most would use the search button.

Not a reply directly to you but to this sentiment: I wouldn’t be so sure. All it takes is clicking on a tag, for example at the top of this topic and you can see all the topics that have the same tag. That’s a pretty quick way to browse. Then if you’re a bit curious, you can go to http://community.memrise.com/tags/ to explore more tags.

I don’t know whether it’s possible but it would be best perhaps if the leaders can create new tags whilst newbie posters can select tags from among those which have already been created (to prevent there being too many similar subdivisions and (worse!) misspelled tags). Nothing ruins the searching experience more than realising that the post was tagged as “Italan” instead of “Italian”

That isn’t possible. If you want to request tags, look here:

Go here to request tags for your topic or to ask that your post be made into a Wiki

Spin-off from here: Existing tags are here: http://community.memrise.com/tags/ If you want to add a tag that doesn’t exist yet to a topic, leave a comment here with a link to the topic. Alternatively, send a pm to one of these users. Please do the same if you want to have your post made into a wiki.

I’m not sure if the Memrise team reads these Site Feedback tagged topics, but I think a good way to deal with this situation would to bring back the direct link between the course pages and the course forums (ie: the forum button that used to be on all the course pages).

The way I suggest doing this is adding a new field in the “Course Details” tab, when you’re editing a course, that allows the course creator to specify the URL for the community.memrise.com topic that they created for their course.
