Purpose
This plugin allows control of how "Special" Threads are displayed by allowing their prefixes and their styles to be changed.

Ever scanned through a list of threads and missed one because it didn't quite stand out enough? Now you can make important threads appear quite differently to other threads so that they will really stand out!

Acknowledgement

V1.0.0 Features

Change the style (set a different background colour) : Sticky, Poll, Moved, Deleted or Moderated Threads.
Change the thread prefix (set colour or text) : Sticky, Poll, Moved, Deleted or Moderated Threads.
make the thread prefix BLINK (always or only if new) : Sticky or Poll Threads. (Note : Works in IE and FF)
Add a "separator" after the sticky threads and before all the rest of the threads.

Tips
If the following templates have been modified from their original, either "revert" them or test this Mod carefully before use:

threadbit
threadbit_deleted
FORUMDISPLAY
tag_search

WishList - Other Ideas

Flash the format (low - looks pretty bad)
Format normal threats based on User-Defined prefixes

Version 1.0.1 Changes

Removed as it was only temporary / a full solution is in 1.1.0 ;)

Version 1.1.0 Changes

1) Got the PlugIn to work with the "Tags" search

2) Allowed the 'separator line' to have some formatting applied so that it can be made thinner

3) Other minor coding and commenting adjustments

Thanks...

It even works on 3.8.x but I haven't bothered making a new version as it is pretty quiet... Maybe if/when I add some extra features ;)

PS: Pleas click installed so I can track the popularity
