If this is possible, then definitely. I've always thought having the whole tag list there was rather odd.

Yeah, this is always what I expect to have happen, and am annoyed when it doesn't. Good suggestion.

This would be such an improvement, I use this function quite a lot but the current behaviour has never really made sense as far as I'm concerned.

I would have thought the best thing would be for the system to offer only the tags for that entry, and then a "choose more" button, if the one you want isn't on the list, though it would be 99% of the time. Of course, if you came to the tag page from the userinfo page, that's different, but then it offers different options anyway.

I agree with this completely, if I click to track an entry I like, it's because I want to track that sort of entry.

Thank you again for the awesome suggestion, I really hope something happens with it.

I'm afraid I've stolen it, and suggested in over on Dreamwidth - http://dw-suggestions.dreamwidth.org/259333.html

It would be even better if it was implemented in both places, IMO.

I think that's a great idea! I hope it happens both places too.
