All ~1000 threads in this section have now been prefix-tagged so as to make everything easier to find. Details below.
To put this in perspective, there were already "custom tags" that anyone can add, just under the thread title. Here's an example of four custom tags in a thread header: (bolded, in blue)
What recently changed is that @JonPurpleHaze added prefixes (special tags, basically) that can appear right before the thread title ("Bally" in the text above is just such an example). Like tags, these can be used to group threads together. Here's the current list of such prefix-tags:
You can scroll through the complete list yourself from various places, for example from near the top of any page in the Maintenance & Repair sub. Clicking on "(No prefix)" will open up said list.
You can also click, tap or filter (filters appear near the top-right of a page) on any of the categories, anyplace you see such tags. For example, if you clicked on "Upgrade/Project," you'd be taken to the appropriate matching list of threads.

Do let us know if you have any suggestions regarding this project. Also, feel free to add your own custom tags to threads. It's fun!

The point of having these is that you can click or tap on any those tags and you'll be taken to a list of all the threads that share those tags.Bally Scared Stiff: crate door
