Let me know if you want it.

Well thanks, please pm it to me.

@Lynne: In the other thread he posted about 3 lines of code which dont really help me alot, Im not sure how he deals with it but I dont want to edit the core files if I can do something like this with a simple plugin. The only part Im missing is the part where the prefix is applied to the thread when a user is posting. So basically I need to check if the admin made an entry in the that admin field, then apply the prefix to the thread when the user is posting.

This is my complete product:

PHP Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<product productid="default_thread_prefixes" active="1">

    <helptopics>

    <cronentries>

</product>

I know that this needs improvement:

PHP Code:

<plugin active="1">
      <title>Default Forum Thread Prefix</title>
      <hookname>newthread_post_start</hookname>
      <phpcode>
        <![CDATA[
        if($forum['default_forum_thread_prefix']){
          $newpost['prefixid'] = $forum['default_forum_thread_prefix'];
          }
      ]]></phpcode>
    </plugin> 


Since Im getting some weird error whenever I input an prefixid in the specific forum.
