When looking at search results (view new) the sub-forum of a forum such as help the sub-forum of Amarok the forum column just displays "help" not "Amarok help" which would much more descriptive of the forum the post resides in. - darn this reads awful wordy.

Agreed. But it's not just "Help". Same applies for "Usability" or "General Discussion" and almost all other Amarok forum subforums. Adding "Amarok " before all names definitely isn't the way to go. We'll see if we find a better way of doing this.
