Split Paid Services In Half - Coding/Designing
 

Just a thought, but as I peruse the "Request For Paid Services" forum, it would be nice if the requests could be split up into those looking for design work, and those looking for coding work. They are really two different things.

Nice idea, but we really don't have that many requests...

There's 5,591 threads, or are you talking about designing requests.

This could be solved by prefixes.

As a pure coder I would appreciate splitting ;)

Actually, there are quite a few. I check them almost every day.

One way (if it's possible) would be to use the thread prefix system to split them.

Without more investigation I don't know if this is possible with the current prefix code.

I'll take a look into it later.

most of the requests i've answered in the last year were about both needs... skinning and coding, because if you read them (i say a lot of them), a lot of people are asking for redesign of their site and adding features... how would they not be lost with prefixes...

I don't think prefixes will be a viable solution, because a specific request can need multiple skills.

Edit: (As Nexialys has mentioned.)

I don't see that prefixes would be a problem there, you simply have three (code only, design only & mixed). Also remember that when you view the forum, the default is to show all threads (exactly as now) - you then have the choice to filer by prefix if you want (so filter by code only, design only, or both). I don't see how this creates any problem - or 'lost' requests.

I agree. But it could be a PITA to update them. It would have taken me a few minutes to get to the subject of that...
