Can someone help with instructions on how to get the prefix option drop down tab in the quick reply section of the forum

I have a section on my forum that i change the prefix often and being able to change it while replying to the thread would be handy.

also having the close thread option if not to hard

thanks

Hi there,

I make excessive use of this modification: Change Thread Prefix Inline (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=200732) which adds a 'Change Prefix' option to the Moderation tools.

You may be able to use/edit this code to get it to suit your own needs.

I already have the inline mod installed and this helps heaps.

I havnt done coding since high school over 10 years ago so im very rusty, but if i could get that drop box in the quick reply section that would be handy...

Anyone know what code i need to copy , and where to place it.

If you go to vBulletin Options -> General Settings -> Add Template Name In HTML Comments, this will add the name of the template to your source code. From there you just look at the source and find the drop-down box and then that's the template you're likely to need to edit/manipulate.

To find out where to look, just read the post above this one of yours. It tells you how to find the template to edit.
