Is there a way to prefix the forum ID's?
i.e. say forumid 7 is Gaming, foruid 8 is Offtopic. Both show in the forum but no separation. Would there be a way to auto-add prefixing of 'gaming' and 'offtopic' respectively to the threads based on the forum they came from?

My Forum's 4.0.4PL1

You can look in the 3.8.x version thread here:https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=245414
I have a way for prefixing threads from other forums, on my forum I actually use a mini-version of each forum's status icon so it's definitely possible, unfortunately 4.0.x doesn't use the same variable names in the templates so the code doesn't work on vb4 and I don't have regular access to a 4.0 forum to play around with it, I'm on 3.8. I've got a question open in the vb4 programming section if anyone knows the 'new' ways to access those variables I'll post the code here but so far no answers,

Basically if someone could translate this to vb4 we'd be in business:

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

Yeah this is because the 'real' thread is still in whatever forum it originated in so the statistics don't update- this way the same thread doesn't get counted twice. I imagine similar file edits could be the code where it tallies the number of posts and last post but again I'm sorry I don't have a working 4.0.x forum to play with, I just had temporary access to make sure the original code worked before I posted here.
