I wanted to post a write up of a new restaurant. When I go to enter its location, instead of simply typing an address, I’m made to search for the address. Unfortunately, this place is new enough that ‘LocationIQ’, (which powers this “service”) doesn’t seem to have this place in their database. So it’s either don’t enter a location (dumb) or select the only choice that comes up, a Starbucks that shares the shopping center (dumber).
IMHO, this ‘feature’ is a solution to a problem that didn’t need solving. I can type, or cut-and-paste an address just fine. Is this feature mandatory? This is definitely a change from the way things previously functioned.

I have had this issue, and it is very frustrating.

personally, don’t do “tags” because . . .
my experience has shown - pretty much Fori wide . . . one can only choose from a drop down list of existing “tags” - one cannot “create a new tag”
which works if one lives in the biggest/second biggest city in the world, but for mere mortals, most of the time the existing/approved/available “tags” just simply don’t apply.
not ever seen a forum management that made every city in the country as “tag” -
or “dish”, , , , for that matter . . .
The only time I tag is when I create a new monthly thread for the WFD threads, but that doesn’t require a location.
I did have some odd difficulty trying to add a location to my thread on the BOS board for Brine Oyster Bar. I HAD the address, but I couldn’t copy/pasta it in. I had to do that same search that @Lectroid did. And it came up with something weird. Can’t recall but I think I just ignored the LocationID; didn’t need it as my subject line at “Brine Oyster Bar - Newburyport” in it, so people would know where it was.
It’s a real shame users can’t add new tags when the one needed doesn’t exist here (yet).
