I am not sure if it is happening on here too but I sometimes find that when loading pictures on the railtube network the bulk loader doesn't always complete properly and I have to add tags individully to each photo which sometimes can be overlooked. When it does work I can add tags to all in one hit which is easier.<br />
Just a thought as to why the tags don't always get put on,

I've been through pix under my name adding tags if necessary. One problem is that when this new site was set up because you had to move 100 of pix in a short space of time some of my pix are now under your name so that its now impossible for me to edit them. This must have happened to Gary's and other people's 'pre- new site pix' as well. It was a necessary thing to do but it makes a lot of work for you Andy now if they need tagging.

I've been through pix under my name adding tags if necessary. One problem is that when this new site was set up because you had to move 100 of pix in a short space of time some of my pix are now under your name so that its now impossible for me to edit them. This must have happened to Gary's and other people's 'pre- new site pix' as well. It was a necessary thing to do but it makes a lot of work for you Andy now if they need tagging. What I've tried to do is add comments to them to explain what they are about. Perhaps if other people who provided pix for the old website could check out their accidentally recredited 'old site pix' and if necessary add comments it will make some locations, etc. clearer and save Andy some work although of course you will not be able to tag them. Strangely any tags that I put on before they were moved have remained so that makes life a bit easier for you, Andy.<br />
<br />
Another problem with tagging is knowing what to put, I think <b>the best thing is to put as many tags as possible</b> as everyone has different ideas. One word tags are best because it you tag a pic 'City of Truro' for instance it will split that into 3 separate tags! Location is important ( eg Towcester) and with steam locomotives: wheel formation, class, CME and former railway company (so LMS Stanier 8F 2-8-0) would provide 4 separate useful tags. For vintage steam day pix the decade (ie 50s, 60s) would make it easier to locate them amongst the many recent pix of the SMJ route.<br />

I think we all have done it. Some through not knowing how and why. That's why I'm pushing it now. There is a lot of stuff on this site and I will go through pages to make sure its all searchable<br />
