    Exclamation Request for Prefix Edit

    I like the idea of prefixes - It allows us to know what particular version of Ubuntu the post is about.

    Though there are 3 issues I have found with it:

    1) It reads strange - ubuntu enable wireless options (thread made up)

    2) Could be solved by doing something like
    ubuntu enable wireless options
    or even
    ubuntu | enable wireless options

    3) People should be able to choose the no prefix option in all sub-forums, as it may be a universal issue.

    That said - #3 would be less of an issue if 1 and or 2 were sorted.

    I agree that the prefixes make it harder to read quickly through the thread titles. I'd much rather have them at the end of the title and in different formatting.

    Glad to hear I'm not the only 1 having difficulties reading thread titles (I was wondering )

    The prefix thing is pointless, please remove it, or make it less prominent.

    It will be fine tuned. It is on the long list of things to do.

    That does help, thanks. Personally I don't like them, so I would put them in grey; I can live with square brackets though.

    I'm sure we'll tweak things as we go along. Nothing is set in stone.

    Looks better though, thanks ubuntu-geek

    I can understand there's a lot to do. I think that different colors would be good, but I'm happy to wait now I can actually read the proper thread title
