Forum: prefix subforum names with identifiers

The rational is simple -- when you use the View New Posts function (and, if they're implemented, similar features such as "view unread posts" or "view your posts"), you see topics listed along with their subforums, but it's not always clear where they're from. For example, there's a "Spoilers" forum in Oblivion, Morrowind and Dragon Age. (The Fallout 3 Spoilers forum, on the other hand, is named Fallout 3 Spoilers so it's non-ambiguous.) Same for "Technical Support".

 

Names like "MW Technical Support" or "DA Spoilers" would be clearer when using this feature. It would also disambiguate forum names that are unique, like "Characters" (only Morrowind has a characters forum, but you don't necessarily know that).

 

 

Also, while I'm here, the "Oblivion > Oblivion Modifications > Uploaded Files" forum actually contains all TES Nexus comment threads, including those for Morrowind mods (random example). The "Morrowind > Morrowind Plug-Ins > Plugins" forum is practically empty. Maybe make it an "Elder Scrolls Modification > Uploaded TES Files" subforum instead? It would probably be simpler than moving all the threads according to what game they're for, especially given that some of them have been improperly categorized by their uploaders...
