Thread Tags
 

Please use the following tags when you start a new thread:

[WIP] for work-in-progress mods
[REL] for released mods
[REQ] for mod requests
[TEC] for technical discussions

A few examples:
[TEC] How can I edit .sim files?
[REQ] More deck gun ammo
[WIP] Skin repaint for Gato class

One advantage is that you can search for those tags using the forum search, this make it possible to, for example, get a list of all released or WIP mods.

As long as people stick to this and you moderator(s) do a good job updating thread tags (from [WIP] to [REL], for example), and tagging threads made by people who overlook or forget about this system, this should work just great and be a great tool for all of us. It could even replace the "List of mods" sticky if done right, as all you'd have to do would be search for threads with "[REL]" in their topic header.

Good idea, Gizzmoe.

Regarding the updating of thread tags from [WIP] to [REL], people need to inform us when that needs to be done.

I didn't see this sticky when I started my Shipping thread here yesterday, and as a result I neglected to use a tag.:damn: I will be sure to use the system from now on - but for now, I see that the thread title has been changed appropriately by a moderator.

This is a great idea; it will significantly simplify the process of searching for files :up:.

You have probably already thought of it, but shouldn't the tag REL be a sticky?

Then you can pick from among the finished mods for the one you want ... :yep:

You can use the forum search to find all released mods, simply search for [REL].

Genius :up:

Did you come up with this on your own? Or is this some kind of standard? Makes finding stuff much easier.

thanks

and to think we've all gone lo! these many years in such a sorry state of disorganization!
:o

what a terrific improvement this is!!
:yep:
:rock:

No, I saw it the first time like a year ago on Elderscrolls.com and immediately liked the idea, it´s very helpful in different ways.

Please use the [MIS] tag for Mission Editor threads, until we get a separate ME forum.

NOTAMS?
 

Sorry for the question, just had a thought...
Is there a "calling all cars/general broadcast message ability when logging in to the boards as an added Heads-up for stuff like the new tagging convention or other stuff?

I know the default is to read the stickies and then Pass Go.

Sometimes I'll log on and click my run-down list of threads I posted to.

Just a thought, I'll leave quietly. :oops:

There isn't, but thanks for the suggestion. We will see if we can find a good solution for that.

Thanks Neal, just a thought.

I find log-on messages very helpful for spreading the word when doing system maint. announcements.

* Great Forum and folks here :up:

cheers,
