Problem with adding actors to tags - and the GS Forum Search!

mysticjim

Hello,

Got two odd issues, one has sort of led me to discover the other, so bear with me here!

1) I've just started learning about tags for my actors, I've got quite a lot of actors in my current scene, wanted to sort of generalise them into weapons and enemies. Easily done, tags - perfect feature this. Not so easy seems to be actually tag an actor. I first of all tried, having created a tag called 'weapons', to go into attributes for the prototype of one of my weapons and physically tick the box. That doesn't appear to work, bit odd, bit of a pain, but no biggie as I found I could simply drag my actor from the 'all' list to the relevant tag and that works. Except, as I mentioned, I have a lot of actors, I'm finding that unless the actor I want to drag into a tag is located on the list near to the tag itself (essentially so they're visible on screen at the same time) that I can't do it. For example, if my actor is at the top of my list I seem to have no way to drag that actor and scroll down to the tag I want to add it to.

Quick addition to this - as I was typing I quickly double-checked and it's still a problem, however, I realise that I am actually able to move the actor further down the list then scroll the window down a bit, and repeating this until actor and tag are visible on the same page, I can do it! I'm assuming, despite this workaround, that htis is a known bug on the Windows version of GS? I say 'assuming' because I'm having a bit of an issue searching the GS forum to check, again, see below

So, I'm on a Win 7 PC using chrome, I'm logged into the Gamesalad site and at the forum page. I type my search word(s) into the search box in the top right and click on the magnifier and am presented with my search results. However, every now and again, not every time, when I get to the bottom of the page and, say, select to go to page two of the results, I get presented with the screen telling me no results meet my search criteria. I just searched 'tag issue' and got to page 6 of results, then it happened. Searched again, it happened flicking to page 2. Strangely, the back button doesn't return me to the previous page, the only thing I can do is search anew. Is it a flakey forum issue or just something I seem to be getting?

With respect to the forum search issue, I haven't noticed it but then I tend to use Google instead of the built-in search field. I couldn't replicate the issue when I tried just now.

Yeah, I can't seem to replicate it with any kind of regularity, could just be a problem my end!
