For the past week or so, I have noticed that indeed.com's tagging feature doesn't work anymore. When I add a job for the first time I am able to add tags without any issue. If I try to edit the tags of a saved job, it doesn't work correctly. Adding a new tag to or changing an existing tag of a saved job usually results in 1 or more of the existing tags being deleted. Sometimes the new ta isn't saved either.

I sent an email to indeed.com's support last week about this issue. They replied the next day saying it had been resolved, but I am still experiencing this issue today. Does anyone else have this problem? You can check for yourself by following these steps:

1. Search for any job on indeed.com
2. Click on the "save job" link that goes with the job you found
3. Click on the "add notes" button for the job you just saved
4. Type "tag1" (without the quotes) into the tag box and click "Save" - the tag should be saved
5. Now click "edit notes" for the tag you just saved
6. Add ", tag2" after the "tag1" you already entered and click "Save" - is tag1 deleted, and tag2 still there? That's how it is for me. Both tags would be saved if the tagging feature were working correctly.
7. Now click "edit notes" again, and add the text "note" to the notes section, and click "Save". - is the note still there, but the tag has been deleted? That's how it is for me. Obviously adding a note shouldn't delete a tag if the tagging feature were working correctly.

I just wanted to verify whether this issue was affecting everyone or if it was a problem with my browser, computer, etc.

I make extensive use of the tags on indeed.com and this issue is really interfering with my ability to use the website effectively. I hope the indeed.com staff can resolve it soon.
