[wp-hackers] Differentiating nightlies and betas

[Michael D.Adams]

As long as we're talking about betas/nightlies and forums in the same 
thread, it'd be nice if the posts in the Beta Discussion forum didn't 
show up on the overall support forum front page.  It's not nice for 
people trying to get help on the latest stable release.

It'd also be nice if you had to check a checkbox "Search Beta 
Discussion Forum Also?" when searching.  That's a little more 
complicated since there's probably some solutions from 1.3-alpha+ in 
the Beta Forums now that are still applicable to current 1.5-stable 
issues.  And likely, something similar will happen with the next (and 
every) iteration.  ...A new beta forum after each stable release, 
rolling each old beta forum into "Previous Betas Forum"?

I suppose this is really a bbPress suggestion.
