Info: Thread Prefixes

[711]

With VU 3.7.1, EntropiaForum adds the ability for members to provide prefixes for threads posted in certain forums. These prefixes appear in various locations of the forum, such as search result pages, forum indexes, and profile pages, allowing other members to quickly notice threads of special interest.

The thread prefixes available when creating a new thread depend on the destination forum of the thread.

Members are asked to use appropriate thread prefixes for their threads, and not to abuse this new feature.

To add a prefix to a new thread, simply select the drop-down box next to the thread title form field:



Note that this drop-down will not be presented if you are creating a thread in a forum that does not permit thread prefixes.

Here is a list of currently available thread prefixes and forums where they may be used:

How about "Article:"? For example Skam's "Dining with Mindark" isn't exactly news, but more an article (or something else, I just know I don't think it's news ).

No, thread prefixes were included in 3.7.1.

I just did not enable all of the available prefixes right away. More can be added based on feedback in this thread as well.

The colour of the news prefix is hard to make out with the grey background.

Can we have "Competition:" and "Event:" for the Events section please?

Could you please give an example of where one would use FYI vs. Info? Those two seem redundant. Thanks.

Shouldn't be there a Prefix about Achievement too? ..

For example - Unlocked skills, 5k milestone , 100 agility ...

or 100 k peds lost so far? ,

The light blue colour is quit hard to read on the grey background I suggest light green in stead.
For the use of colours a good contrast is important so the can be read, by most readers, including the colour blinded.
