#abc Poetry Challenge

How about another poetry challenge?

Here's one I found a while ago.. Simple concept; hard in practice!

Create a poem using the alphabet in sequence ie each word starts with the next letter in the alphabet. My attempt is below (previously posted) and shows more clearly than my rambling what I mean..

Let's tag it #abc

Guess it doesn't matter what it's tagged with cos it ain't working. This wasn't edited and was typed straight into Opuss but not showing up and hardly any household tags appear @Seamonster

That's a hard challenge. Will try and get to

Aggghhhh ..... Get time to do it today. Yes the #tags don't work @seamonster. None of my series tagged show up. 😳

@eddie12309 when you say it doesn't work can you elaborate? What's not happening that should?

@Seamonster anything I tag doesn't appear in the search results. Initially thought it only happened if a post was edited or pasted, but now they don't show on posts that I type directly into Opuss, without edit ?

@eddie12309 takes a bit of jiggerypokery to make something that makes sense lol

Well I've been doing a series of poems/verse so I thought I'd # tag then all with its name. But when I go into the find section to see if they all came up the other day, only one did. I tried different # taggings on the peices but still to no avail. Maybe I'm doing it wrong,@seamonster

@Burrfoot ok thanks for the report. Will look into it.

@eddie12309 @Seamonster I decided to do the same with a couple of stories as its a good way of collecting them, but didn't work. There's only a few #household posts appear so it must be a common problem?

@Seamonster πŸ‘πŸ‘ŒπŸ’‹

@Burrfoot I can see the issue with yours. The code is some of the oldest and needs some love but if you append rather than prepend tags it should work better. I need to fix that ☺

@eddie12309 what tag were you using?

@Seamonster I'm a little ditzy.. I should put tag at end, not start? Think ive tried both. #chased was at end, though edited in and #abc is kinda half way through latest post.. Thanks πŸ˜‰

Yeah, I think it only scans at the point of creation so editing in might not work. As I say, that whole part of the system is ooooold so I need to revisit it.

But yes at the end is better. (I think 😳)

@Seamonster πŸ‘πŸ‘good luck, bows down to your work ethic
