[wp-forums] Themes/Templates Forum: Commercial Themes

[Chip Bennett]

Themes do (now, thanks to Otto making it happen several months ago), but it
is painfully difficult to get Plugin/Theme users to *use* the provided
links, and/or at least to *tag* their topics with theme-slug/plugin-slug.
So, those tags/prefixes are about half as useful as they *could* be.

But the bigger problem *now* is that it is extremely difficult to
differentiate between Theme/Plugin specific questions, and general Theme
development/ Plugin development (e.g. filter/action hooks, API usage, etc.).
If Themes/Plugins had their own sub-forum, it would be MUCH easier to focus
on the general Theme/Plugin development questions - or, to focus on the
Theme/Plugin-specific questions.
