Yes, that's by design. Color coding must be outside the message field (box) in Hootsuite and all our integrations other than Twitter. As for suggesting hashtags, yes, we do that - when you click on a word and then, the search button.  Or, click in a hashtag in your tweet field (in Hootsuite and other integrated sites) and you'll see a pull-down with hashtags recently used with the clicked hashtag.

Hope this helps - SauL

Pocketchalker, 
Firstly, thanks for that.  A couple ideas:
1. by retweet, do you mean "tweet again" (send the same tweet again)?  By Twitter's rules, you can only send the same tweet once in 12 hours.  However, if you wish to send again, from the Share menuu - https://ritetag.com/audit - Audit your tweets, change a hashtag or two, and you can send anytime - since it will be a different tweet in the "eyes of Twitter."
2. May I help, and show you some hidden glories?  Just add saul@ritetag.com to gmail chat, chat > video call.  Very happy to help; I love working with (and learning from!!) RiteTaggers.

Ah, okay, the Chrome ext on OSX.  Yes, we know about this issue.  We're on it, will reply when fixed.  Sorry for the nuisance. - SauL

Thanks - yes, minor changes were being made to the extension, so it was offline for about an hour.  You'll find that it automatically updated to the new version, - SauL
