By popular request, I have tentatively installed “autocompleting” tags on the Add Books screen (click “autocomplete tags.”) Autocompleting means that when you type part of a tag, LibraryThing will suggest the rest of it based on previous tags. Some browsers try to do this, but field-by-field not tag-by-tag. Play around with it; it’s nifty. (It uses the amazing WICK.)

If people like it, I’ll install it on the card edit page. I’ll also make it use recent tags without using “update.” But I myself find it a little distracting. Should it continue to be merely an option?
