And now, the HRAs are going to have to contend with HOAs, it sadly seems.

One thing is certain...It don't matter what the lettering is!

Just nitpicking here. Is it really necessary to separate NHRA & IHRA forums? Over the years, it seems anything dragracing related was found in the NHRA forum and is there enough traffic to warrant 2 categories.

There is a way to accomplish this using thread prefixes. I’ve experimented with this approach in the past, but at the time the general consensus wasn’t very favorable. In XenForo, prefixes allow you to require users to select a category or label when creating a thread — for example, choosing between NHRA or IHRA when posting. This helps organize content and makes it easier to quickly identify which sanctioning body a discussion relates to.

Prefixes essentially act as structured tags that appear alongside thread titles, allowing filtering, sorting, and visual differentiation without needing separate forums. If we want to clearly distinguish between the two sanctioning bodies while keeping everything in one area, prefixes are likely the most native and efficient solution within XenForo. Definitely a suggestion, just not sure how others feel about this.......

Well said ST.
My immediate response is when you have your own forum to manage, careful what you wish for - because work is in no short supply.
If it's easier for everyone, I'd say it makes sense then...but I'm in the NO camp....LOL!
