i think you're misunderstanding how the tags links works. You go to that tags result page when you click the tag, not the image.
here's an example:
http://inneroptics.net/collections/species/...
notice that the words below the main image link to the /photo_search page (with the image search block on it), while clicking on the details link takes you to /photo/ page (with the file/image details block on it).
Right below the "Image Tags Link Page" option, have a look at the "Image Detail Page". That's what controls where the image links go.
make sure you click "Link images to another page on your site", then select your results page.
And i you want the thumbs to link, and not the large image, you have to turn off the large image in the "Enlarge Mode" section.

i am familiar with 'tagging' images and i have experience with joomla, drupal, wordpress, concrete, and custom built cms.
please see attached screenshot
1- concrete allows me to 'tag' images
2- your 'add on' allows those 'tagged' words to be displayed as links
3- i choose 'Link image 'tags' to another page on your site'
3.1 - i can choose which page the results of the like tags
after i select the page - and then go back to any page and click the 'tag' text below the image it goes to the proper page, but does not show results.
trying to figure out why no resultss are shown.

ok, thanks for elaborating.
basically the proPhoto block doesn't do everything you're looking for in regards to searching images by tag. It allows you to link to another page, but it assumes that you've taken the steps to handle tags on that target page.
In my first response above, I mentioned two ways for you to get tagged images to display on your results page. The easy way is to use the image search block, which was built specifically for this purpose. Just install on your site, add it to the results page, and set it up so that searching by tag is enabled.
however, if you are a developer (are you?), you can do the same thing with the file list class. This is how you'd get a list of files that have a specific tag:
$fileList = new FileList();
$fileList->filterByTag( $_REQUEST['tag'] );
$pageSize=100;
$files = $fileList->get( $pageSize );
does this make anymore sense?
you're welcome to call me if you'd like to chat about this further: 503.933.3323

Are you saying i have to pruchase another 'add on' just so my tags can be linked to another page?
- the Pro Photo 'add on' interface itself plainly states... 'Link image 'tags' to another page on your site'
- should it say right under that (basically the proPhoto block doesn't do everything you're looking for in regards to searching images by tag) ?
The selling points on the Concrete5 Showcase for Pro Photo page state:
- Display images based on a Tag (eg. Wildlife) or by Set (eg. Featured Images)
- Link your images to an image detail page to help with search engine indexing, and link your image tags to an image search page
seems like i bought it already with Pro Photo? Please let me know.

hmm, yeah, that's understandable. I'll change the text on those descriptions so it isn't confusing for people, and if you send me your email address I'll send you a free copy of the image search block (contact me through my profile).

Alternatively, you can use the file-list class (/concrete/models/file_list.php) to code up a single page or a page type that will display a list of files based on the tag.
