Implemented Thread Prefix Suggestions

So, Plums, I know you previously rejected this, but couldn't the same argument be said about locked approved or rejected threads in this section, which do have prefixes?

Also, I never heard back on my Lack of Interest prefix idea. What do you think? Good idea or unnecessary? It could be used on suggestions that go one month without a response, at which point a new thread could be made if someone else i's interested.

 

I'm planning on reorganizing this forum (prefixes and all) after we update to 1.3. I don't have the specifics down yet so you'll have to be patient until then.

 

Patience is my middle name.

 

It's nothing too exciting on the user end, I'll include a list of the new features when I announce the downtime.

 

@Plums: Just thought of a prefix that could be quite useful, which would be available to staff -- of course -- and premiums (since they've been able to edit thread titles since the XenForo 1.2 update) in Audio Projects and Video Projects: Completed.

What do you think? What does everyone else think?

 

Any feedback on this?

 

I think Duplicate could be another useful one.

 

Can add later tonight.

If it's pertaining to this section, I don't think it's really necessary since it could just be merged. In fact, any duplicate threads can just be merged lmao, so I don't really see the point in having a 'Duplicate' prefix.

 

*points to a certain thread*

But in all seriousness. thank you. :)

 

That thread is not a perfect duplicate, lest you forget.

 

At first I thought it was, but I was just joking there.

 

As a follow-up to @Misty's post here from a while ago, now that we have the multiple prefixes add-on, may I suggest adding some new prefixes to be used in Feedback & Assistance?

• Suggestion
• Confirmed
• Cannot Reproduce
• Future Fix
  
• Fixed
• Partial Fix
• Not a Bug
• Duplicate
• As Designed
  
• Won't Fix
• Can't Fix
• Server Issue
• Browser Issue
• Service Issue
• Design Issue

Suggestion would go with Awaiting Feedback, Implemented, Working on It, and No Thanks (like in Technology now there's "Support - Solved") while the others would go with Help.

The prefix names I did get from XenForo -- and Fixed is actually the only one Misty thought of -- so they could be named something different. Obviously, not all of them will be implemented, they're all just all ones I personally thought could be useful.

 

The current selection of prefixes works fine for me in keeping track of things, which is what matters for this section. A support board like xenforo's community forums might need to narrow things down like this, but for us, these are way too specific.

 

Right, and I kinda of figured as such, but it couldn't hurt to mention it, right? ;)

What about the Fixed prefix and back-to-back prefixes parts like in Technology? In the former's case, I know that's something you said you should add. :)

 

In my eyes, Implemented and Fixed cover the same meaning, even if the wording isn't ideal. It's easier to just have them set as one prefix. Multiple prefixes can be selected in any forum.
