Hi vbulletiners,

I'm just looking for a MOD or something to add a subject type in Topics.

E.g. We have mods to add a "Resolved" Tag once a user gets his answer...

I need something so when you are Starting a new topic it will give a user an option (just next to the title field) to choose what type of a Topic it would be. (I will add "types" in Admin Panel for a "particular" forum)..

E.g. if you have a programming forum and in one forum there are LOTS Of types of discussions going on.. Then to make it easier for a user to understand the type of discussion...

When they are making a topic it will have lots of types to choosee.. like PHP, JAVA, C++ etc..

So, it will look something like this once the topic has been added -- (IF I choose JAVA)
[JAVA] I need help for my work?

I hope I have not made it too confusing for others :(

Is there anything like this MOD out there? I'm sure it would be... :)

Looking for an quick answer guys!

Thread Prefixes? Those are standard in vbulletin 3.7 and onward.

Thanks for ur help BUT...
Can I have multiple Prefixes showing in One Thread? I tried to add multiple but still user gets one option to choose out of the categories..

No, you cannot have multiple prefixes per thread. I know I've seen users ask for that, but I have no idea if anyone ever wrote a modification to allow that.

exploit the TAGS feature... you can even modify the threadbit to display TAGS beside the thread title, the same way the prefixes are shown...
