Can someone please add thread prefixes in the PPC subforum so we can more easily tell what device as person is talking about.

Something like

SuperMac (PowerMac G5 Quad)
PowerMac G5 (non Quad)
PowerMac G4 + yikes
PowerMac Beige

PowerBook G4 Aluminum
Powerbook G4 Titanium
PowerBook G3

Mac Mini

iMac G5
iMac G4
iMac G3

xServe G5
xServe G4

iBook G4
iBook G3
iBook G3 Clamshell

eMac


And so when someone posts it will say:
SuperMac cluster
Or
iBook G3 overclock stability issue

Instead of:
PowerMac G5 Quad Core cluster

iBook G3 overclock stability issue

It would make it much easier to tell what a thread is about by just looking at the color.

memorize the semi large color code table into long-term memory would require more effort than I believe most of us are willing to make... hehe

but if it works for you, then.. well on ya!

That's horribly bad idea. Prefixes are bringing visual mess to the clear enough forum layout. That's why I don't visit UI customization sub-forum. They only work well in Marketplace.
