I don't know if your aware but messages posted to this area of the forum ie WOW - comes up as 'General' when looking under New Posts, could this be changed to something more descriptive ie WOW General as I often click on it expecting to find something I might be intersted in but find its WOW - not a slight but would help to have better labelling and make the forum easier to navigate to topics relevant to users.

COD4, rFactor etc all come up clearly labelled so you know which forum the thread belongs too.

Thanks

Title: WOW labelling for Professions section of site
Post by: Dewey on August 26, 2009, 12:09:52 PM

Guys can we also label any threads under this section of the site WOW - Professions (or something) so innocent bystanders like me don't waste time clicking on a link - thanks

You think that Professions is something you see elsewhere in the forums? I think if it says 'Blacksmithing' in the topic you'll probably figure it out without the need to prefix everything with WoW. The topic is shown so it is not misleading like 'General' might have been.

I'm confused. They're all under the wow forum so it's clear to see where they are. To prefix every forum with the parent category is impractical.

When you view "New Posts" the forum column only shows the sub forums title. I can see why WoW -> General would have baited some but not the professions.

Just a tip for what I do when browsing the forum, to easier see only the posts that are of interest to me:

First thing I do when entering the front page, is to double click all the "bulletin board icons" that indicate new posts in that specific sub-forum for those that doesn't interest me (e.g. Dead Men Racing and Left 4 Dead). This will automatically mark all posts in those sub-forums as read, and when I then click the "New Posts" link, only that which I care about is still listed there.

Nice and simple :)
