    So we now have these “crazy” prefix things. I’m in the process of working on implementing some of the suggestions members have made regarding the prefix. Specifically:
    1) Location - In front of the thread title is distracting currently. (Working to change this)
    2) Color of the prefix.
    3) How exactly are they useful?

    That said, they can be extremely powerful when implemented correctly.. at least I think they can be. Ours currently are not, primarily because we needed to do it this way for the migration. Therefore I would like feedback as always. I would like to “test” prefix and see what you the members think when they are implemented differently. I was thinking about the best way to do this. Here is my thoughts..
    • First - start with the feedback, how do I, and announcement forum. In my mind, we can logically drop these 3 forums to one forum. With this, I can show some of the functionality, filtering and ways to easily access and see how to use them.
    Once that is done, we can “use” it and test, gather any feedback or additional changes/suggestions and then move to another forum. Ultimately, I believe this will make it easier for people to find information and know where to post. But I don’t want to implement it in the technical sections etc until I can do it in the site section first. If I can’t do it here well, it won’t work well in other sections.

    Anybody have any concerns with this? I’ll pull together an updated list of “prefix” (think of those as sub categories for a forum) and present them back.

    Looking forward to any feedback..

    Hehe.. not sure where this is going to go.. I know there is a lot of sarcasm here (or at least I think there is). :Ninja: Probably better is I describe better what I’m thinking here. Let me see if I can put something together to show how it could work and why I think I could be super useful. :)
