Thread prefix

In the Ubuntu forums, they have thread prefixes. Any chance we could have those here in CodeGuru forums?

They would come in especially handy in the scripting forums. It would be great to have people select PHP, PERL, ASP.NET, Python, BASH, etc. to go with the title.

Let me ask Joe Palermo and I'll see what can be done.

Yeah, we can do that.

Sweet. Any chance of knowing if this going into a "to do" queue? Or will this be a quick addition?

I figure I can get this done about 9:30 AM this morning.:)

Impressive!

Sorry to be such a hassle...could the categories be the following? I forgot that we have dedicated ASP.NET and Python forums already.

• PHP
• Perl
• ASP (Classic)
• BASH
• Other

EDIT: And is it required? If not, can it be?

I just did a forum search (advanced search) a few hours ago and noticed that there is a new thread prefix option. Amazing how quick that change was implemented! :)

I rock. Just ask me:)

Quite cool, I have to admit, especially that the prefixes are per sub-forum. Maybe it will make sense to add prefixes to other forums. We'll have to think about it.

Client-side forum options, maybe?

• JavaScript
• X/HTML or CSS
• XML
• VBScript
• ActionScript
• Other

Sorry to bump this thread...but, can you please implement this for the client-side as well?

Can you please make them required in both client-side and server-side? I've noticed that a good number don't even bother. It then defeats the purpose of having it.

I added the client-side prefixes. Take a look. I'm not sure about making them required.....

Brad!

(( As we know - if people use them, then they increase the likelihood of getting an answer.... ;) )))

Perfect. Thanks a lot!

I've just noticed that people in the server-side forum haven't really been using them. If they were required, then threads would be better organized.

EDIT: Oh...and can you add Other to the server-side options?

For the server-side forum...can the "ASP" prefix be renamed "ASP classic"? Many are confusing this with ASP.NET which has a completely separate forum.

So...any thought on requiring the prefixes for server-side and client-side. Very few people are using them...but they are important! Then I have to go back in and edit the thread title.

Made it required. Let's see how many people complain.... :)
