Tips Understanding Thread Prefix

[iCodes]

Thread prefixes are labels or tags added to the beginning of forum thread titles to help categorize and identify the type of content or status of the discussion.

Here's what you should know about them:
Common uses of thread prefixes include:

1. Content type identification: [Discussion], [Question], [Guide], [Review], [News] - helping users quickly understand what kind of thread they're looking at.
   
   
2. Status indicators: [Solved], [Closed], [Urgent], [WIP] (Work in Progress) - showing the current state of the thread.
   
   
3. Topic categorization: [Gaming], [Tech], [Off-Topic], [Meta] - organizing threads by subject matter.

Benefits of using thread prefixes:

• Makes forum navigation easier as users can quickly scan for relevant content
  
  
• Helps moderators manage and organize discussions
  
  
• Enables filtering and searching by specific types of threads
  
  
• Creates consistency in how threads are labeled
  
  
• Can be used to enforce posting guidelines (some forums require specific prefixes for certain sections)
