Question

More like a bug report (I think):

TagMePlugin fails both in applying tags and in searching for them when used in a sub web.

Test case:

1. Create a subweb under a particular web
2. Add a tag to a topic in that subweb
   it fails with an error that essentially means: Cannot create file (plugin_location/_tags_Web/subweb.topic)
3. Manually create the "plugin_location/_tags_Web" directory from a shell
4. Retry tagging the topic. It now succeeds.
5. Click on the tag. Notice that the topic is not listed on the tag search page.

Environment

Thanks, that worked nicely. I skimmed that page before posting but I completely missed those comments.
