RANT! Why don't people put the language into their message title?

Haircut · 9 Dec 2006 at 10:21

I've noticed this a lot on here recently, people post a question asking for some coding help but don't state anywhere in the thread what lanaguage it's for, even whether it's for the web or a windows application.

I'm not singling out this thread, but this is a prime example of what I mean.

Chances are it's for a webpage but it never mentions this once.

It only takes a second to put the language in your title and you will make sure that people know exactly what to expect before coming into your thread

Anyway, Rant over!

It would be nice if we could have thread icons with various languages, although I'm not sure if vB lets you have forum-specific thread icons.

All you really need to do is:

HTML:

 Thread title etc...

because i think people don't know the language needed for something like that. for instance the guy is asking how would he do that, and im guessing he is looking for a response like, well you need to use JS and this is how... etc

I don't see the problem. I've only ever seen English threads here :confused:

Excusez-moi, je voudrais cherche mon file ".htaccess" d'Apache server, mais je suis un champignon. Aidez-moi, s'il vous plait.

Posts like that are a forum menace, I tells you.

The only thing that bothers me is the use of the the php code function. I can't see it and I'm too lazy to copy/paste elsewhere.

Very droll.

Or the complete lack of use of code tags, too.

Or the using of PHP tags for non-PHP code which usually just makes everything blue :confused:
