So, the new HAMB has been running for a little over a week now. We still have some bugs and some minor quirks to work out, but overall I think it is running pretty smoothly. My absolute favorite new feature is the prefixes. It absolutely rules to be able to limit my view to posts only about hot rods, customs, tech, history, or whatever... What's that? You didn't know about prefixes? It's easy... scroll down to the bottom of the forum page and find this little drop down box: Simply select the prefix you want to limit your view to and then hit the "Show Threads" button. Presto... You are looking at threads only relevant to the topic of interest. No off topic crap, no horse shit... Now, that's cool! But wait... How do threads get a prefix?!?!? Well, so far users have done a pretty good job of giving their own threads prefixes. However, I still find myself giving other people's posts their own prefixes all of the time. I don't mind, but thought I had better teach folks how to do it themselves... Check this out: When you are writing a post, simply select one of the topics that most closely matches what your post will be about... That's all there is to it. Now, not every post should or will have a prefix. If your post doesn't fall under one of the categories, do two things: 1. Ask yourself if it belongs on the HAMB at all. We let some off topic stuff get by, but self policing is always the best policy. And that said, some legitimate posts on the HAMB literally don't fall into one of the prefixes, so don't feel bad if you go without... 2. Don't add a prefix. Please don't prefix your post as a "hot rod" post and then write about something other than hot rods... That sucks. In any case, that's all I have for ya... Use prefixes. They rule.
Can you make one for Deuce, cause you know, they're SPECIAL. But, for real, this feature is cool! Thanks Ken
cool, guess i will have to start using them, but it may take me awhile to remember this as i am a old dog
It's one of those posts explained above... It doesn't fall under a prefix... Geesh - don't you guys read?
Unfortunately, they never taught me how. All I wanted to do was post on the HAMB when I grow up. Now I can never realize my dream... ~Jason
...I can still hear George Carlins voice... "It's a Conspiracy, man! Just another way for the Gov'ment to control the herd!"...
If you check out the HAMB Drags video post it's been established that newbies can't or don't. Not sure about the rest of us. ;-)
That is a great feature of the new HAMB Ryan, thank you! Is there a way to add prefixes to older threads? Cheers Jimmy
wondered where the catagories were coming from. the last thing i do is push any extra keys and make my computer do strange things i have no clue about. thanks for the 411!
When are you gonna make a "Un-edited Streetrod Event Coverage",prefix? Since some guys still don't know what the HAMB is all about! lol!!!! I like the new look and added trinkets...The changes to the profile page is great!!! Way to go Ryan...
