When I load this Forum the first thing I do is go to Categories and select FS2020 so I don’t waste time reading topics that don’t pertain to the sim I use.
But 50% of the time 2024 users start posting and the thread ends up having tons of posts that aren’t relevant to the tags in the original post.
Same deal with the PC tag. If someone starts a post who is on PC and a bunch of console users ( or vice versa) start posting on there it becomes pretty much useless to the person following the original post. I don’t know if there’s any way to prevent this except to really reiterate to topic creators to make sure that they tag their new topic properly, and those that reply to not post about the other sim (2020 or 2024) or platform.

We need a separate MSFS 2020 area that will be enforced by moderators. I also click on 2020 only to see most posts are about 2024. OP thank you for bringing this up.
The way I interpret the tags is they represent the platforms that are experiencing the issue. If a PC users raises a bug it’ll get a PC tag. If the bug is also present and reported by an Xbox user it should then get the Xbox tag added.
If a topic OP wants the topic to be limited to one platform they should state that in the Thread/Bug title. ie PC Only.
Likewise MSFS2020 in the title to restrict it to a particular sim.
That’s a good suggestion if it works…..
I do notice a lot of posts that are tagged both 2020 and 2024 which leads to the problem of trying to filter out one or the other when going to categories on the form. I think that happens because the poster has both Sims, but people should not tag their posts based on which Sims they own but which sim the issue relates to.
I realize that some issues will pertain to both 2020 and 2024. I wish that the Forum was smart enough to put that type of post into both categories.
