I can't add tags to problems I solved. I think this happens because of this error on page:

Failed to load resource: net::ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS
code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.2/jquery-ui.js2

The correct link would be: code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.2/jquery-ui.js (https instead of http).

I suspect this happens for everybody, because the number of tagged problems is really small on the site.

Please fix it so we can add tags to the problems we solved smile

tag edition is a whole new feature, so there's yet few tags.

I'm not sure that allow every solver to tag a problem is a good idea, it will be soon a mess...

I think only EB should tag, and that tag should not spoil the content of the problem...
we have to concert about that.

Thanks for your bug report.

Yes, I understand, it could give a hint to the solution of the problems (for example people could start using explicit tags like: "min-heap", "sort", "process-from-backwards", etc). On the other hand, I find tagging very useful if you want to increase your skill in a certain technique and solve only one kind of problems. For example: solve only dynamic-programming problems or solve only graph problems.

How about these restrictions:
- only the users who have solved the problem can tag it
- there are a predefined set of tags that are very general (i.e.: "graph-theory", "dynamic-programming", etc); the users can only use these static tags

Another interesting thing that can be done with tags: you could display on a user's profile page his expertise or skill. The logic could be this: you know what problems a user solved and you know the tag cloud for each problem (i.e.: "dynamic-programming (35)", "greedy (2)", ...). Sum this for all the solved problems and you could display something like this on the profile page:

Skill

"dynamic-programming" ###################################
"graph-theory" ####################
"math" ######
"game-theory" ############
...

/////

Sorry if I got carried away with suggestions, got really excited to see the new site re-design I guess smile

I'm facing the same problem. In fact, I was able to add a tag for one question, but no more.
