Just wondering how the version tag at the beginning of the thread title would look if it was half the size.
VB 2005 Thread Title
Just seems to distract from seeing the title clearly.
By the way, thanks for letting me be apart of this excellent service.
Good idea, also I think the "vs" part should be taken off since we already know that the topics are in the "VB.net" forum.
Well IMO I think keeping thread Prefixes (tags) short as possible is better. Like we previously had just the year versions as the "VS " part is redundant
I'd honestly consider using .NET versions as opposed to VS. VS2008 and beyond support framework targetting, so just because I'm using VS2008, I may not be using 3.0 or 3.5. VS2008 is a much faster and expandable IDE than 2005 was, and IMO, everybody should be using it.. but it's ultimately the version of .NET that matters, not the version of VS.
I dont say this very often ( ;) ), but I actually agree with TS on this one..the main difference lies in the .NET version. Thats the way its set up in the C# forum.Quote:

Thread Prefixes "could" be changed but thats not my call, its Joes/Brads
Understood. The point of my post wasn't to make a demand, merely to raise a point that the current prefixes don't do much to actually inform us of what technology we should be prepared to help with. Granted, for a lot of us, it probably isn't an issue... I'll work just as well with 2.0 or 3.5, although I much prefer having the LINQ extensions available, as I play with Generics a lot. Either way, version of VS just plain isn't helpful anymore, because of the framework targeting. This is just posted here so that somebody in charge can see it and think about it.
Yes points agreed and hoping for the same and at minimum the removal of the "VS " part. Too long and FW vresion would make that even shorter
