Can anyone explain what does A stand for, B stand for and C stand for in the prefixes ?
There is no C. It's A for Advanced, I for Intermediate and B for basic. If you start a thread and click the prefix drop down you'll see even more explanation.Souhardya Nandi said:Can anyone explain what does A stand for, B stand for and C stand for in the prefixes ?

I agree; although when the announcement posting came about the prefixes, I remember reading that post, and it made sense. It was a good idea.Ygggdrasil said:That help page (https://www.physicsforums.com/help/threadprefixes/) doesn't look very good. It essentially looks copied from the forum (it references a "today" that was likely over a year ago) and has naked BBcode tags that do not do anything.
Actually, the OP should pick his own level rather than the level (s)he believes the topic to be. An OP with high-school knowledge of GR will likely not be helped by an A-level discussion of the intricacies of different coordinate charts of the Schwarzschild space-time. It is a very common error to think "this topic seems very advanced to me so I will label it A". I would say it is the primary reason for mentors relabelling threads ...symbolipoint said:Whoever is making a post can choose what level HE believes his question or topic to be.

The Thread Prefixes are used to categorize and organize threads on a forum or message board. They provide a quick summary of the topic or purpose of the thread.
The "A" prefix typically stands for "Announcement." This is used for important information or updates that the forum moderators or administrators want to share with the community.
The "I" prefix commonly stands for "Information." This is used for threads that provide helpful information or resources for the community, such as tutorials, guidelines, or FAQs.
The "B" prefix usually stands for "Discussion" or "General Discussion." This is used for threads that are open for general discussion and may cover a wide range of topics within the forum's subject matter.
It depends on the forum or message board. Some may allow users to create their own prefixes, while others may have a set list of prefixes to choose from. It's best to check the forum's guidelines or contact a moderator for more information.
