Do I need to add ": $posttype" to one of my templates as RobAC suggested?
Edit: Scratch that - I have it in my newthread template.
I'm getting the options in the admin cp but I get no drop down box when I try to make a new thread.
I'm not sure if this will be helpful to anyone trying to figure this out, but if I view the source when I go to new thread, it doesn't seem to be accessing the posttype template. Do I maybe need to have something more that $posttyle in the newthread template? Or do I maybe have something wrong in the newpost_posttype template itself? If I go to newpost_posttype, edit, preview I get a drop down box, but it only gives me the default option, not any of the custom prefixes I've added in the admin cp.
Not sure if any of that is helpful to anyone, but I'd sure like to get this working
Edit again lol: Okay, new weird thing happening. When I post a new thread, there's no drop down box, but when I post as usual, what I've typed as the message become the prefix.
So if my subject is: Hi!
and message is: just checking things out
What is displayed in the forum is:
