In some of the AVSIM forums it is required to add a Prefix to your Topic. Creating a Prefix is done by selecting one of the previously created Tags to become a Prefix. NOTE: Only after you create a Tag, new option to select a Prefix will appear below.

So basically, this is done in two simple steps: Create a Tag, then select it for a Prefix.

Step 1:

Create a Tag - Just type it in "Tags" box. Then press enter to save it. It will now appear in blue.

In the example below, i created a Tag with the name of "FSX-SE". 

 

Step 2:

Select a Tag as a Prefix - The next line located under "Tags" is "item prefix: None". Click on it, and it will expand and show you the list with all Tags you have previously created. Select the Tag you want to become a Prefix.

In the example in picture below, i have created a Tag "FSX-SE", and then selected it as a item Prefix. It should look like this now:

Once your topic is created and you click on "Submit Topic", your Prefix will appear in red.

Thank you, I had recently noticed you had added prefixes to my last few posts, now I know why.  Good explanation!

Yes John.  I got tired of doing it so went looking for a "Prefix" expert and found Zeljko in Germany and brought him on (well, actually he came to us).  This was one of his first projects.  AVSIM appreciates the many outstanding images you provide to our members and guests and now we can spend more time admiring them with a prefix showing the simulator you used.  Tags work too but uniformity neatness counts a lot!

Thank you for the kind words John. I really enjoy your images.
