Looks a lot better than just the letters now - prefer the logo's
I don't think the prefixes are strictly necessary
I think that might have been discussed though
Nice logos, must say :thumbsup:
S3
A3
2.0FSI
2.0TFSI DSG
2.0TDI
2.0TDI DSG
3.2
3dr
Sportback
Interior
Exterior
Quattro
Electrical
Gearbox
Engine
Wheels
Tyres
Brakes
Tuning/Remaps
And, Rob...I'd like an ice cream please.
I think the point is being missed slightly.
Suggestion is.... Add the suggested prefixes (wheels/tyres/electrics/etc) and be able to search within them, rather than the A3/S3 prefixes.
okey dokey, but can you advise which prefixes u plan to add please rather than just stick a load in, as this method has already proven to be no good, be nice to actually be asked if they are of use before setting up, maybe this was the way forward from the get.
Again not being funny, but would you bother to read it all, if you had that incarnation thrown in, to put it bluntly as we seem to be dancing around this thing stupidly & you want it to be constructive, its useless Rob, doesnt help anyone by having A3 & S3 solely, what exactly does it split up to make of use apart from people posting info relevant to many 8P lines/models, as the things mostly discussed as Mitch has pointed out, dont differentiate most of the models anyway which is why I suggested a better prefix split. I didnt see the prefix search option Rob for one sole reason, I dont believe the incarnation of prefixes would be any use to me & the search facility isnt really that great, so didnt even bother to see if it existed in search facility, now I know its there & if you amend the prefixes to be of actual use then I will probably use this at some stage, but for me no point having the feature if it isnt more definitive of a subject on the 8P section.
AS much as its nice to have fancy logos, cant you just actually change the prefix system to better options as has been suggested, then if the system works then spend time on the logos, I dont think anyone's that stupid to think the system is any better just cause you change the A3 & S3 to a logo rather than text. Also I think its clear to me this prefix system will be staying, no one with your proven methodology Rob, would spend this time on logos then scrap the whole thing later on, it would be a rather pointless exercise, surely test the system 1st get it working to a satisfactory state with the users, then start adding pretty things to make it nice on there eye, isnt this the most methodical & sensible approach, think atm its time wasted on something that could easily be put to more good on this prefix system, which overall could be ported to the other sections aswell, no?

Maybe start suggestions here.
I think A3/S3/FSi/TDi/DSG/etc can be accommodated in any of the above and therefore do not require their own prefix.
You must get altitude sickness on that ****** soapbox of yours bud
There was a time I wouldn't have believed that I'd ask you to take a leaf out of aythreee's book

So long as you're happy thinking that, it'll do for me bud

I agree that we should not get carried away with the number of prefixes otherwise the whole system becomes unworkable and does not help anyone to find posts on a specfic item. That is what the search function is for.
Personally I see the prefixes more of a way of only browsing through posts related to your particular area of interest rather than as a second search function. A3, S3, TDI, TFSI S-tronic for example.
Look !! (your going to hate this !!)
Step back and look at what you are sugesting here ...
The thread has a title ! thats the clue to its content. If i see a thread called "S-Tronic problem" i don't need a prefix to tell me this is a gearbox question !
The top threads at this moment are
Number plate light
Delivery times
RNSE radio reception
New S3 prices ?
Mud flaps
Bose sub amp upgrade
Part number request
ESP light on
S3..a minor problem...
And so on. They are all self explanitary ! they dont need a prefix, they already have a topic decription in the title. Further more, all these post bar 1 are of intrest to S3 and us lesser owners as well.
I am all for change but not for the sake of it and i don't see one good argument yet to back a change to a system that worked perfectly well anyway.
Yea, i know! Old paddy is a miserable ******, always moaning
Does this help explain why I don't see the point?
Well if bumper isn't in the title, there's a damned good chance the thread isn't about a bumper.
