    Tidy up this sub-forum, by platform?

    Any chance of a mod tidying up this sub-forum?
    Maybe a header infront of thread titles:

    [XB1] Alan's Tracks
    [XB1,PS4] Brian's Tracks
    [X360] Charlie's Tracks
    [PC] David's Tracks

    or some colour coding, or split?
    Unless of course we are anticipating cross platform TC some time soon?

    It is quite tricky to work out which console the threads are referring to, and is a pain to open each thread to find out.
    Given that we cannot change our own thread titles, once organised it would not need re-doing!

    There is the option of adding a prefix - for new posts - so people know the platform etc - however it would need people to use it to post - also depends on the amount of people who request such as thing.

    I'm sure the RL guys will be looking into this.

    Thanks for your response. I was thinking that maybe once it was clear what platform each thread was related to, a mod could then simply add [XB1] etc at the front of the thread name.

    edit: Although in a few months it may well be too big a task, and a split by platform might well be necessary...I guess if there is a split and someone releases on more than one platform (which is quite likely) they will need to post in 2 forums and maintain 2 release threads?

    Not sure what the best way forward is tbh...cross-platform TC?

    Well I'm sure it's something the RL guys will consider - if there is the need

    The sooner you all start to tag your track threads uniformly, the better all the newcomers realize what's the preferred way.

    I'm sure that if the need arises, this section could be split into more subforums. Until then we rely on people tagging their titles to let everyone know which platform they are building on. I'm gonna regret this next bit......but anyone who needs a thread title change can PM me and I'll get it taken care of today.

    I would rather like to see this, but it is of course completely down to thread owners...so I suspect we will see a mess in here for now.

    Still think it is a massive shame we cannot alter thread titles, simply seeing a thread bumped does not tell you a new track is out, but
    "[XB1] Alan's Tracks - New track 21/04 - Thunder Mountain"
    was so useful on the RL forums

    If there is no way to edit the thread title can we delete the thread and start again? I forgot to put xbox360 on mine and spent ages trying to find where to change it until I just gave up and edited the signature instead. Only have a couple of posts in my track thread so no big deal starting over.

    You could. Or you could just PM me with your name request and a link to the thread and I'll take care of changing it for you.
