Stricter organization of Threads in LQ
 

Hello everyone.
I like this forum a lot, but searching for threads is a real mess.

So here are my ideas to improve the forums search capabilities and therefore prevent doubleposting.

1. Every thread should have a state Prefix (Open/Solved)

2. Add the second Prefix to every thread within the Laptop-Notebook forum
- The first should be Status (Solved/Open)
- The second should be the model of the Notebook/Laptop
Every thread would look like
[Open] [Sony Vaio pcg-grt995mp] Problems with this and that
If the model is not entered, the thread can not be created.

3. Add a Input mask to every thread where the writer can (but does not need to) insert the hardware specifications like
- Motherboard model
- Screen model
- Processor type
- Chipset model
- RAM Size
- GPU Model
- Soundcard model
- Additional specs textfield

4. Add a textfield/dropdownfield of vairous Linux Distributions

All this would allow a member to search for his hardware instead for a thread name.

Greetings Louis

"Solved" flag is already implemented, it just isn't mandatory.


Apparently you do not practice what you preach yourself...


I highly doubt such restrictions benefit a forum like LQ.


Unless you have a gazillion threads then in the "My LQ" bar on the right of the screen you'll find a search that's conveniently called "My Threads"?
