User version number and Forum meaningful subject

[unearthed 33]

Is there any way people can be forced to enter their VW version number?, I can help some more modern version users but with no version I'm averse to clicking thru.

 

Also require a subject line that is meaningful and not the person's name or vague statements, cause 'Subject: Jim Jones' is not gonna get you a lot of reads!

Same for student license VW Files that we can't open with our commercial license.

@zoomer Yeah, I mean that really is selfish, people do stuff when they're students that they can't access when in practice.

@unearthed VW will gladly translate all student work to remove the student limitations with proof that you have a commercial license. It can be one you purchase yourself, or one supplied by an employer.

As part of the Student to Pro program, we will convert all student files to professional.  for additional information see https://www.vectorworks.net/en-US/education/student2pro

I too have noticed an odd increase of posts with someone's name as the Subject line. I wonder if it's because the box is labeled "Title"? Maybe something like "Topic Name" or "Post Subject" would be clearer.
