Title: [BTC] Symbol in the title of the threads
Post by: RealBitcoin on June 02, 2016, 11:46:48 AM
It would be nice if the BTC symbol would be visible in the title of the threads as well, not just posts.

Is it possible to add this feature to the forum?

It would have to be white colored to contrast the blue ribbon of the title.

IMHO, it's pointless to implement this to the current forum software(SMF) considering that the Beta version of the new forum software (https://beta.bitcointalk.org/)(epochtalk) has been launched, but it's worth suggesting (https://github.com/epochtalk/beta.bitcointalk.org/issues) for the new forum, though.

What blue ribbon?
If you're saying that it should have a different color, that's not a good idea because some users might abuse to make their threads more noticeable

No i havent said that, i like the blue color. I just said that the symbol text should be white (as the title already is) to contrast the blue background and be visible.

I didn't get you the first time either. ;D

OP is referring to the text in the blue ribbon at the top written in white font color, above the Subject of the opining post:

I agree if the symbol is supported on the title it should be in white. I think it will be anyway, would be invisible otherwise. :)


Or use ฿? (Not the perfect alternative I know)

Would honestly be great. Maybe even allow bbcode in subjects? :)

I can't count the times I've typed in BTC and had to edit out the bbcode from my title, after realizing.

Thats thai baht, and a lot of thailand people are on this forum so it would be very confusing for them.

The BTC symbol is just fine.

Yes, I am aware of that. But the symbol is actually used to represent Bitcoin in many places.
There won't be much confusion if you use that just in the title in the general threads.
Ƀ is generally more preferred than Baht symbol anyway.


You can suggest that for Beta. https://beta.bitcointalk.org/

For the SMF forum, you probably will need to use a workaround.

Yes, it would be nice, and it will shorten your title more than just typing "Bitcoin".

My biggest worry would be crap title's using  BTC multiple times in it. In marketplace it could become the new * that people use to try to make thread stick out.  Granted it's a small amount that would likely use it for this.  But it could get annoying.
