The XenForo forum platform lets users add special labels called thread prefixes at the start of thread titles. These prefixes help everyone see what type of thread it is right away. The forum managers can make these prefixes look different with colors or styles. They set up all the prefixes through the control panel under Forums and Thread prefixes. When people look at a forum page, they can pick which prefixes they want to see. This makes finding certain types of threads much easier. Many forums use prefixes for different jobs, like showing which version a question is about or telling if someone has already fixed a problem. The XenForo community uses prefixes to track bug reports and help users find the right resources. The prefix becomes part of the thread title and appears everywhere the title shows up. Search engines also see these prefixes when they look at the forum.
Users can only add one prefix to each thread. The XenForo forum platform added a new feature that lets prefixes have descriptions. These descriptions help explain what each prefix means. Forum managers can add two kinds of descriptions to any prefix. The first kind shows under the title of threads with that prefix. For example, a thread with a SOLD prefix might tell readers the item cannot be bought anymore. The second kind helps people who are making new threads understand when they should use each prefix. Forum managers control who can use which prefixes and where they can use them. They pick which user groups can add certain prefixes to their threads. They also choose which forums allow each prefix. This keeps everything organized across the XenForo forum platform.
