Shal, I don't remember about the button shape. I just remember that awhile back, I was trying to use the pound sign in a message title, and the title got totally mangled. I remember at first reporting

Jim, This use for the number sign is a creature of social media. Wikipedia cites Twitter as the place where this usage first flourished. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashtag In Groups.io hashtags are

J, Oh, right. As seen in Full Featured Digests and the Messages section the hashtag will be pulled out to the end and made into a button shape. I forgot about that. In individual email it just passes

Just wanted to say that as this hashtag thread rambles on I am learning a lot. I'm 72...hashtags have not been a part of my life...and yet I see them around. I guess that they are here to stay. Thanks

I don't think that works. Groups.io will still create a hashtag out of any pound sign and in doing so, I believe will mangle the thread title. J

Dano, I think you may be right, asking those members to add well-chosen hashtags to their message Subjects would likely slow down their participation. I know when posting in my PTA group it takes me

Dano, That is a concern of mine as well. Our friend the octothorp has many other names and uses. Which is one reason to take a laissaiz faire approach to the hashtags - if you're not planning to use

Too much work. The misuse was beyond rampant. J

Why not edit the message and you can them change the hashtag in the description. wrote:

p.s. Also, many of our group members come from another group where hashtags are required. I think the other group may have gotten them into bad habits. In our group, hashtags are (were) NOT required.

The reason in my case is that at least 50% of the time, members are misusing the tags in terms of matching the tag with the subject matter of the post. This ranges from mismatch no connection

Re my prior post questioning the ability to do this (which has not yet posted), I now see that you can go through individually and set each hashtag to "only moderators can use this tag." So I've now

What do you mean? How can you turn them off? I've already set mine to only allow moderators to create them. But I don't think you can turn them off entirely, unless I'm missing something. J

J - Good question. Like Shal, I couldn't figure a need for them in my groups so I've left them turned off. I was concerned that it would just add confusion for the group members, since they've not

J, If you're talking about using "Edit Topic" item from the More menu on a message in the archive, then I think you can edit the Subject freely and it will affect the whole topic (thread) without

J, Hashtags may not be useful in every type of group. For example, I haven't been encouraging their use here in GMF because I haven't really worked out how to get value from them. Hypothetically I can
