No, per FAQ
What are tags?Tags are a useful way to search for threads with similar subject matter and content. This complements the normal search system, which searches only for certain words or phrases and/or posts by specific users.
To use tags, you add words or phrases to threads to help describe the content. For instance, if the subject matter is 'photography' then you can add the tag 'photography' to the tag list. But you could also add tags like 'digital image', and 'camera' (depending, of course, on the nature of the thread).
This will categorize this thread with all other threads that have matching tags, whether or not they have the word 'photography' in them.
Who adds the tags?
Tags are initially added to threads by the user who started the thread. Other users may also be able to add and remove tags.
How do I use tags?
Tags are displayed in a box near the bottom of a thread page. Clicking on a tag will allow you to view other threads that have the same tag - and which may be related. Clicking on the word 'Tags' in the top of the box will take you to an overview page with a 'tag cloud.'
This cloud allows you to see which tags are the most popular - the larger the word, the more times it has been used on threads within the board. There is also another tag cloud on the advanced search page that shows you the tags that have been searched for (or clicked on) the most.
To put your website, you put it in your signature, which will only be seen by other members who are logged in.
When logged in, click on User CP in the tan bar in the upper left of the page. Then in the left column, there is a section that starts with the following
- Your Control Panel
- Your Profile
- Edit Your Details
Click on Edit Your Details then scroll down to Optional Information and you will see
Home Page URLIf you would like to let other visitors to this site know the URL of your own web site, enter it here.

that has a box to paste the website.
Or I think you may put in in your signature. To edit that scroll further down to find

If you look at the bottom of my post while logged in, you can see my signature

If you log out you will not see that.
Since I don't have a website, I think that if you put it in Optional Information that it
might only show in your profile (if someone clicks on your user name), but it
might also show as a signature when you post.
