  This post: http://technoteamblog.wordpress.com/2014/01/18/debate-of-the-week-nintendo-smartphone/ is not appearing on the Technology tag page at wordpress.com/tags/technology and I’ve entered the Technology tag in the tag area on the post. Many other posts from my blog are also experiencing this problem.

  Does anyone know why this is happening or is it a technical issue?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I’m planning to post another post on my blog within the next couple of hours and I would like the post to appear in the tag pages. Do you think that staff will respond to my question before then?

  Thanks,
  Tom

  I don’t know. What I do know is the result of bumping any thread is that the timestamp moves forward and it takes loner to get help.

  In a nutshell:
  Emailing support means it takes longer to get an answer than posting to the support forums does. Please do only one or the other.

  Staff work through all email support tickets and all support forum threads tagged for their attention and through all in order of datestamps and timestamps – first posted first served, as would be expected.

  When bloggers keep bumping any thread thinking they are going to get service from Staff more quickly they aren’t thinking straight because that moves the timestamps forward and it takes longer to get a response. The same is true if you email more than once the date moves forward and it takes longer to get help.

  Bottom line: Patience is virtue.

  Hi Tom,

  I checked that post and your most recent post, and both are appearing under the technology tag here: http://en.wordpress.com/tag/technology/

  Here’s a screenshot of the most recent post there: https://cloudup.com/cB7esx67TXZ

  I’m not sure why you weren’t seeing your post there, but it’s there now. If you notice the problem with any other posts, please feel free to give me the post URLs and I can check those for you.

  @rachelmcr I’ll make sure that our next post appears on the Technology tag page and will let you know if it doesn’t.

  Thanks for your help,
  Tom
