  I am a newbie so hope i don’t sound stupid. In tag surfer when i try to subscribe to a tag i want to surf, for instance History, it adds a 2 on the end. So the History tag becomes History 2, which is not what i want. I have tried all different tags but i just get a 2 on the end. Is this normal, or is it some kind of fault? I do seem to be attracting faults!! Thank you.

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

  I just added “History” to my Tag Surfer and did not experience a “2” being added.
  1. Is it possible that you have entered the word “History” into the Tag Surfer twice?
  2. Have your tried deleting the “History2” tag completely and then entering only “History” again?

  No i haven’t added it twice. I deleted the tag and tried again, and then tried adding a different tag, but no matter what i add, i get a 2 on the end of everything. I take it that it’s not normal then?

  Staff are doing a major software upgrade a feature at a time. Granted you have had trouble with your blog and I don’t know if those problems are related to the upgrade or not but I do expect we will be back to normal soon. Hang in there. :)
