If you think 2 or 3 clicks to be "buried deep below", OK, but it would be just 1 click "deeper" then now. Plus it will add a clear structure for each device and if you're in the forum for your device nothing is changed...

PLEASE DON'T DO THIS!!! I've seen it in other forums and I HATE it... It's awful, nobody looks for the prefixes, sets them wrong and older posts from sections that are less used are buried under many, many pages (= you loose the clicks you saved from the flat structure).
If you do it anyways there NEEDS to be a possibility to filter the shown threads by prefix, so you can just see the needed "section"!
