Thanks... I've come up with another add-on / option for this mod...

If you want to edit a thread's title to reflect it is a thread outside of your 'master forum' do the following...

Edit the threadbit template.

Find:

<if condition="$show['sticky']"> <img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/sticky.gif" alt="$vbphrase[sticky_thread]" /> </if>
				</span>
			</if>

After this add:

<if condition="$vbulletin->userinfo['field5'] != 'No'">
<if condition="($foruminfo[forumid] == 1) AND ($thread[forumid] != 1)">[X]</if></if>

Replace the two instances of "1" with the forumid of your master forum. Replace 'field5' with the field name of your opt-in field discussed in post #4 in this thread. If you are not using the opt-in system then instead add the following code:

<if condition="($foruminfo[forumid] == 1) AND ($thread[forumid] != 1)">[X]</if>

You can obviously change "[X]" with any text or code you'd like... in fact I went a step further personally... I have a unique status icon for each of my forums so I used a mini version (18 pixels square) of each icon in place of the [X]. To do this I renamed each icon to be the forumid number of each forum. Then in place of [X] I used:

<img src="/forums/images/ministatus/$thread[forumid].gif" border="0" align="absmiddle">

Of course you'd set the directory path to wherever you uploaded your images. Doing this will produce results like in my screen shot (but with your images of course.) I recommend 18x18 pixel graphics so they are the same size as standard text but any size icons will work.
