That's right, only selected usergroups are allowed to point new threads to external links. All the others continue to submit new threads the usual way.

I wanted to highlight the custom threads somehow by adding some sort of an icon next to their titles. I used the same one as for sticky threads but you can always customize that further in the template directly. Redirected threads aren't moved to the top like the sticky ones, (unless you also mark them as sticky) so no need for additional separators.

I use this one because it doesn't generate any in-line errors like Atakan KOC's mod mentioned earlier.

That's a nice mod suggestion, I tried it and apparently it works fine with my mod with no extra fixes required.
