I don't see how "Bookeen" adds any new information relevant to the thread, considering that the thread is posted in the "Bookeen" forum. If someone compares the Gen3 to the Opus and follows your prefix layout thus choosing "Bookeen" or n/s or a blank prefix, how would it be of any help to others?

If you are a new user ALL threads are new to you. Sorting with optional prefixes is absolutely useless in that case (and I believe it's new and relatively new users that'll need the most help in finding information for their device)!

I don't see how it is useless. Can you explain why it is useless?

Idea: Can't we use tags?
If we had some useful categories, like e.g.:
- Opus
- Gen3
- General
- Bookeen
- Content
- Accessories
- Troubleshooting
- Developer
- News
(like the subforums now)

The Content, Accessories, Troubleshooting, Developer subsections will go away. The nature of tags is that they can be freely chosen (we do have tags already in place; everyone can add new tags to existing threads).
My experience is that trying to "order" a live community is only practical to a certain degree. We are trying to come up with a selection of useful and logical forum categories. But in regard to discussions, we do not want to forcefully restrict users in how they have to categorize their threads. It's limiting, and I honestly fail to see the added bonus.
