Keith,
It sounds like you did everything right until the last part. By not typing anything into the box your bookmark wasn\'t accepted.

What that box does is give you (and other members...if you click the box that allows other members to see your bookmark) the ability to look up bookmarks by using \"Tags\".

Tags are basically \"categories\". For example: Bookmarking an article or thread titled \"How to feed birds\" is great if you only have a few things bookmarked. But if you have tons of bookmarked items (like me), it becomes harder. If you type in things like Birds, Bird Feeding, Birdfood, you can now \"View in Cloud Form\" to see those tags. By clicking on those tags it will bring up a list of everything you have saved pertaining to those tags.

It also allows you to go to the Community Tags (I\'ll explain that in a later) and look up Tags to see all kinds of things that other people saved as long as they clicked the box that says \"Allow others to see these tags?\" (yours may also be in there).

These two Screen Shots might help. In the first one I clicked the bookmark symbol on this thread then added some \"tags\" in the text box. I also made sure the box that allowed others to see the tag was clicked (something I always do unless my bookmark is something I don\'t want in the \"Community\" or don\'t think anyone else would be interested in).

The second one shows you how you can highlight all the bookmarks using the same tag. I don\'t know if this would work on your iPad, but on my desktop if I hold down both ctrl and F it brings up a text box on the bottom of the page where I can type in a tag and it highlights all bookmarks with that tag. If there are lots of them you can click \"Next\" and it will show you more of them. or you can just scroll down the page.

Hope all that makes sense. If not, let me know.
