Synge - they'll be lost (as related threads at least) without the relevant tags.

This morning, I've done some work to improve the sort order of the related threads.
Previously, imagine three threads and their associated tags:
A: health,support,alcohol
B: health,support,toenails
C: alcohol
When viewing thread A, you would hope that thread C would be prioritised. But because thread B matched more keywords, it took precedence.
I've attempted to counter this by giving each tag a relevance score for matching. The rarer the tag, the more precedence it gets. So in our case, 'health' and 'support' contribute less towards the matching process because they exist in more places. The more niche words 'alcohol' and 'toenails' play a correspondingly larger part.

I will also look at factoring in recency of posting at some point.

I've loved looking at old threads and the rabbit holes.
Is there a date limit on tags, or is it any thread that comes up, I saw some last post 2009!

You can tag any threads purps. I'll see if I can provide a list of untagged ones when you all feel as though you've done exploring.

♪♫ Synge ♪♫
I am probably responsible for a few of the single-use tags. Please don't take action on them for a week or so! I have sometimes found a thread and tagged it with a new word in the middle of following another theme and haven't necessarily pursued it yet. (I also have a bit of a contractual commitment to my employer which I kind of feel bound to observe.)
