Question How to subscribe to existing hashtags, and is it possible to subscribe from posts?

[Alan_SP]

Well, this is some sort of my asking how hashtags work. I think I have idea how they should work, but I'm not sure how they work in forum with AUT. So, it's some kind of how to and possibly feature request.

For example, I create hashtag in post to describe certain keyword of interest, like this:

#hashtag

After that, at least I imagine so, users could click on that hashtag and subscribe directly from my post (actually, any post with hashtags). Or, go to their settings and subscribe there.

I tried to subscribe from settings, but I didn't know which hashtags exist on your site. May you program so all available hashtags be shown there (or is it already so, but you don't have any hashtags, so none is shown)? Of course, it could be very long list, so it probably should be cached in some way. Also, when entering new hashtag, autocompletion, like for thread tags is more than welcome.

I'm thinking that hashtags could greatly enhance experience of using forums posts, tagging them by keywords (hashtags) for easier finding relevant posts, but it depends if we can look for all posts (not sure if it is possible, where do I look for posts with certain hashtags?) with certain hashtag, how easy we subscribe to existing hashtags, etc.

So, I decided to ask you.

I see now how I can subscribe to hashtags from posts, it's a good way.

How can I find all posts with this hashtag? I saw only one post other than mine with the same hashtag, but there possibly could be thousands of posts with the same hashtag I could imagine that I want to see them all.

Clicking on a hash tag, such as the one in your previous post, will list all posts that contains this hash tag

 

[Alan_SP]

What if there's hundreds, or even thousands of posts with same hashtag? Are all of them shown on same page, or there's something like with search results, with more than one page if needed?

Also, is there a way to show all existing hashtags, or it needs yet to be created?

 

[Fillip H.]

It will paginate.

I don't believe there's a list of all hash tags at this moment.

It would be really great if there's a way to show all existing hashtags. When I buy full version, I'll made feature request in pro section.
