Dennis, what was your fix?

There's an option in the AdminCP to "Require prefixes". I'd left that set to OFF, which is the default when the hack is installed. I set it to "By Forum" (or whatever it says) and then went into the Forum Manager for certain forums and set it to Required = Yes there.

I DO have a legitimate issue now though (and it MAY be my own fault, but I'd welcome a little input). For threads that currently have no profix, when I go to Quick Edit, then select Go Advanced, I naturally get the error notice to Select a prefix. I do that, then click SAVE. BUT - the prefix DOES NOT GET ADDED to the thread.

This only happens on EDIT, not on post a new thread, which works perfectly. Any ideas out there folks?

I noticed this too. It did work in vB 3.5. I will fix it in the next version.

One feature you might also consider:

Copying the DEFAULT prefixes from a forum where they're already defined. For example, I'd defined all the prefixes for my "general" room, then had to copy/paste those into the defaults in AdminCP after-the-fact. (Redundant, yes I know, but I had my reasons.) It might be nice to have an option like:

SET DEFAULTS FROM THIS FORUM:

Which would do that automatically. This might be useful if you wanted to instantly and globally change your default prefixes.

Just a thought...

I'm trying to install this and I *believe* I've made the correct edits. It doesn't appear to be the case though as when I click on 'Forum Tools' I don't have the 'Manage Thread Prefixes' option. Any idea where to look for the error?

Thanks!

I have one quick question:

Have the template edits changed at all since the 3.5 version? I'm upgrading now, but not reverting all my templates (preferring to update them manually) and I'm just wondering if I have to check every one of the template edits to see if they're still the same as before or not...

:ermm: *deep sigh* ok, so I thought I was paying attention when I installed this, but now I get this error when I try to read/edit/create posts:
:confused: I don't even know what parse means, let alone that whole message. Any help would be appreciated! Oh, and feel free to check out what i mean by clicking on any post at http://virginiareia.com/forum/index.php. I just hope that it didn't cause any other errors & that this one can be fixed.

Thanks!

open showthread.php and see whats wrong with line 2.

=/ Yeah, I tried that, but I can't figure out what line 2 is... not only that, as far as i can tell, the only change i made to the showthread.php was way down low... i don't think it was line 2... any other suggestions? i'm open to them.

thanks.

google a program called editplus. Use that to open the file. Line 2 is just two lines down. maybe you hit a key and didn't realize it or something.

mine looks like this.
