Adding a PREFIX When Creating a Thread

[Roger Marquez]

I´ve seen this on many other forums and I think it would be a great addition.

​

There are other prefixes that are often used I believe it would be great if we can this as a condition when opening a thread in certain subforums but people often omit.

This can keep everything better organized.

Some of the prefixes I would recommend are...

GET
REQ
METHOD
GUIDE
FREEBIE
WTB
WTS

And a few other I just don´t remember right now.

There is such a thing on BHW already, it is just not being used. As an example, see this prefix on a thread from @Zwielicht in the test forum:
https://www.blackhatworld.com/forums/test-forum.228/

Dayumm.. I didn't even know that sub forum existed, till now.

That's really a great suggestion to use for BHW 2.0.

I really like that prefix feature. I mean, I really want that feature on the forum.

I did actually bring this up to the forum owner ages ago. I don't remember the full details of the discussion, but there was an issue with indexing and the prefix feature.

Essentially, the prefixes are shown in Google and take up precious pixel real-estate in the title. So if someone wants to search Google for a specific issue and finds a thread on the forum, they see this:

It's much more feasible for short prefixes ("BST"), especially in sections of the forum that aren't indexed, like the member downloads section. It's not an outright no, but it is something that still needs to be looked into.

But I will say this again, I like these prefixes.
