Prefixes for the Progamming forum.

Evil Phil

Could we get a couple of Prefixes for the Programming forum? Prefix being the same thing we have on this forum

• Question
• Solved

Just to start with.

Language specific prefixes might be good too but the list could be endless. If we were going to include them I guess we'd need the list below. But if we could just get Question and Solved alone that would be brilliant.

Lanuages

• Php
• Java
• C
• C++
• Asp.Net
• Python
• Ruby
• C#
• Vb.Net
• Classic VB
• Delphi
• SQL/DB
• Other Language

I've added Question and Solved.

See how you get on with those and if you want the per-language ones let us know. I suspect that the tag system would be more appropriate for that though. Or perhaps, rather than break it down by language you might think about breaking it down by family. Something like ".NET", "Java", "LAMP", "Windows", "Mac", "UNIX/Linux", "Other"? It might save on additions to/deletions from the list of prefixes over time.

Actually I like the tag idea a lot, does vBulliten allow for predefined tag banks that users can choose from?

Thanks for the Question and Solved, lets see how it works out over the coming weeks.

'fraid not. It doesn't even auto-complete from previously used tags.

Another feature for the list of things to do if we ever get a chance.

Can't, emigrating. Otherwise I'd apply.

Can we add [n00b] to the list?

Sure, any preferred colour?

Evil Phil

Green would be appropriate, [Solved] could be changed to black I guess.

I forgot to mention, I made the change this morning.
