Re: Modifying the topic tag list
You would have to modify the CSS to list the tags you want. That means playing around with style.css of your template playing with these parts:
<div id="topic-tags">
<div id="othertags">
<ul id="otherstaglist">
The names will be like #topic-tags, #othertags and something with list item for otherstaglist. I haven’t looked at it, but the list is CSS driven.
