Show requesting/offering in the main menu

[DoYouThink]

Here I mean, for example take Pretxels "Custom Models!" post. I don't know is he offering or requesting them, that's a bit of a bad example but there is a lot of them where I don't know which one it is. Just add a small R there like [R] or [O]. It would make it so much easier.

This will not be happening, not least of all because the prefix system is going to be retired from our forums in favor of a filtering system with thread meta-data. However, we can split "Recent Posts" into two separate widgets titled "Requesting" and "Offering" and filter out any results which do not have prefixes that correspond to their group.

We can do the same for threads.

This would, of course, eliminate the appearance of any non-market related threads, so we could create a third sub-category for "Discussion" or "General" if preferred, for non-market community content to appear.

The main concern with this would be the resulting length of the sidebar, but I believe the improved functionality would be worth the additional length.

What is everyone else’s thoughts on this?

I agree at least
