Oooh look at my thread prefix Yeah look at my thread prefix

I have done a thread prefix on this post.

Might be handy if we use these to add prefixes for album threads/single threads/tour threads/general discussion. Makes filtering so much easier.

If you click on it in forum that has lots of prefixes it will show you all threads with that prefix.

Yes we'll need to think about how and where they might be useful (and how and where they might very much not be!) but it's something to keep in mind I suppose! Could start to look quite chaotic with them everywhere but you can see how it might be nice in eg Charts, Rates etc.

One possible usage is to use one for spoilers for TV so it's easier to find threads where spoiler discussions is allowed. Maybe prefixes for RPDR and Real Housewives as opposed to the requests for their own separate subforums.

For Charts & Rates, types of threads can be utilized to designate which threads are Rates vs not.

It could also be useful for song contest threads.

Have you considered perhaps making it pink?

I believe some forums who utilize prefixes also have them vary by color so that it's easier to spot what kind of threads are which. Almost like a flair for a thread's title.

This is a bit nerdy but an Apple forum I’m on has an iPhone forum where it uses the prefixes for iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 13 etc. I think we could put it to good use here.

I'm still pretty aroused by these thread prefix thingies. Some well-placed color, used with dignity and respect for the overall pink tones of the forum, would be lovely.

Can we implement this soon mods?
