Please, is it possible to have for all BSG thread subjects a prefix? In activity stream I can't see if General Discussion is for WoG or BSG. I'm not interested in BSG, so I don't want to open a thread just to see if I'm in "my" part of the Aerodrome.

General Discussion could be for WGF, WGS, Post WW2, TnT not just for WoG or BSG Daniel, depending on the feed. Same goes for any other sub-forum heading. The best way round it would be to change all the headings to include their area of interest eg: BSG General Discussion; TnT Rules Help... not sure how much work that would entail. I feel your pain though.

Dan,
I have PM'ed Keith [Oberst Hajj] with a suggestion for re-titling the BSG sub-forums to eliminate duplication. Hopefully, he will implement it and everyone will know what sub-forum is being presented.


...

BSG:
General Discussions - So Say We All
Campaign Discussions - Strategic Planning/Execution
Mission Discussions - Tactical Planning/Execution
Rules Help/Stats - Rules Help/Ship Design
Game Aides - Game Checklists & Guides
House Rules - BSG House Rules
Ship Mods/Painting - As is.

...

This should help, I hope.

That would only eliminate BSG headings from duplication - not the others, though every little helps.
Still think it better to mark them all up, or, cut the feed but he won't do that, I've already asked... at least I persuaded him to take OTT out of equation.

Dave,
I am addressing the issue that Dan has brought up, as the Moderator of the BSG sub-forum.

If this has been an issue with other parts of the forum, it is up to those Moderators to deal with that. Until this came up, I have just borne with the issue between the WWI and WWII sub-forums. It has become more of an immediate problem, especially since I asked Keith to put titles on most of the BSG sections so they would harmonize (have the same look/feel) as the rest of the forum.

Now I see that is compounding an existing issue. So, perhaps a committee discussion by Moderators of the different sub-forums may be needed for an overall fix.

This is a great suggestion Daniel, thanks for making it. I added a prefix to all of the sub-forums to help everyone out when trying to decide if they are interested in a thread/post when it shows up in the various feed locations.
