    We have introduced a tweaked prefix style when you attempt to post a new topic in a forum with prefix's.
    The new style (shown below) should make it clear and easy to set an appropriate prefix for your topic. We will be rolling more prefix's out to other forums soon as we plan to make heavy use of this feature in the future.
    If you have any problems please post here and I will look for a fix. Also if you have any suggestions for new prefixes please post them here



    We do plan to release this change to vbulletin.org for others to use in the future but if you would like a copy sooner please PM me (ZeroHour)

      hopefully will make it easier to navigate/search around

      Is it too late to to ask for the option of "Netwon" (might be given one shortly)

      Tony, I think that there are enough buttons there for you already given the amount of phones you posess!!

      *You had to be at the conf last year to see Tony empty his pockets of phones. It was like he'd ram-raided Carphone Warehouse!

      Seriously though, it does make it a lot more clearer the options users have, as well as making forum searches easier.

      GD does raise a good point, there could be room for an "Other" tag just to catch all the 0.00001 percentiles.

      But then why not just use [no prefix]? I probably wouldn't search for 'other', rather do a keyword search in-post / in-thread.
