Let's have a separate area for submitting questions for the Blender Today Live weekly shows

Currently, it is difficult to spot the thread that is opened to ask questions in the weekly live Blender Today show. I tried to search for terms such as "Live", but could find questions for only a few sessions.

I guess that a lot of users face the same issue, and as a result, a lot of questions remain unasked.

We should have a distinct tag for these threads (e.g. "BT Live questions").

It would be great if we can also have a separate icon in the far left panel for these threads. (I suggest a mic for the icon.)

Thanks in advance!

We also still run into issues where people constantly ask questions in the YouTube live chat and well...Pablo doesn't read those, but he also doesn't explain where people should post the questions he reads at the end of the stream.

* @bruno.souza.lino * Maybe there should be a moderator on the chat that collects questions, and chooses the questions from the Blender Community Post

The trouble is that Pablo doesn't schedule them on YouTube early enough for us to get the link up very far in advance. This past week it was listed on YouTube about 2 hours prior.

* @Josephbburg * In that case, it is best to open a new thread soon after the current session is over. Initially, start with a dummy subject line: "Questions for Blender Today on (nextDate)".

This dummy subject line can be changed any time afterward. If the next week's BTL is postponed or canceled, just change the date.

This thread will serve three types of people:

  1. People who want to post a question for the NEXT session

(which will happen as scheduled or as re-scheduled).

  1. People who missed the live session, and who have to watch the recorded version. If they have any doubts related to the last session, this is the only place to post them.

  2. People whose questions could not be covered in the last session. They have the option to post it again.
