Append Phero-Company Name to its "Everything Else" Section - Arsenic - 11-17-2016 10:06 AM
When browsing Today's Posts, it can be difficult to judge which forum section I am going into when I click on a thread. To clarify: Click on Today's Posts. Some threads will be labeled as being in the "Everything Else" section, but... the problem is...there are a dozen or more "Everything Else" sections: 1 per pheromone company.
My suggestion is to add the pheromone company name to the beginning / end of its respective Everything Else category, such as:
"PheromoneXS Everything Else" or "LAL Everything Else" to avoid confusion.
What do you guys think? Good idea? Terrible idea?
It would also help a bit with SEO, as another benefit.
Edit:
Same with the Product Reviews sections

I second this notion. I don't think it would be redundant on a page like
http://pherotruth.com/Forum-PheromoneXS
either

With 233 posts, surely by now you know what products are from which company, yes?

I took a quick look at doing this but its not quite as easy as I thought it might be due to the way the database table is setup. All of the forums and subforums are identified by a single "fid" When I have some free time I'll look into it deeper and see if there isn't a way I can identify the parent forums in Today's Posts as well as the search results.

I've built several mybb sites from the ground up just for fun. I used to own leetcoders.org. At its peak it had 12k members. It was a forum for programmers, which attracted hackers, so, after many years it wasnt worth maintaining but it was a fun run. So yes, you could say I know a thing or two about mybb
edit:
Browsing through way back machine is nostalgic, wow.
Here's a snapshot I found.

Take a look at the "forum team" page, look under Webmasters
https://web.archive.org/web/20100928142946/http://leetcoders.org/showteam.php
At one point through all the hacks we decided to try phpbb which was a disaster. I dont recommend it
Anyway, you ever need help I'm more than happy to assist. Brings back good times.

Sent you a PM.

Alright folks, I've added Vendor initials to the product review and everything else forums so you have a better idea of what threads your clicking on in Toady's Post and when using the search function.
It's not really the way I would have liked to set it up, which would have been to add separate fields to the pages for forum and sub forum, but I couldn't accomplish that very quick or easy.

That's very disappointing, Mark. We expected better of you.
Just kidding, thanks for getting that set up, and thanks to Arsenic for the idea. It's definitely something I'm using now, and it's like an itch I didn't know I had. Thanks for scratching it.
