Can we have a couple of radio buttons on the "New Thread" form that force you to specify whether you're question relates to C/C++ programming under Windows or Unix-based Operating systems? It could serve to add "[Win32]" or "[*nix]" to the thread title.

I know the majority of threads will be Windows-based but it seems that people always assume that to be the case when replying. There is a great deal of difference in how the OSs behave and this makes a difference to how the coding problems should be dealt with.

Sometimes using Windows-traditional methods on a Unix-based OS (or vice versa) can lead to security issues.
