Anyone have the prefix option for posting to a new thread working? on vb3.8.6

I was having this same problem on 3.8.5, it showed the dropdown menu to choose the prefix but when the thread was published no prefix had been added.

It's now working using the code as below and since I upgraded the plugin to the 3.7 beta and (in the xml file) changed all instances of TYPE=MyISAM to ENGINE=MyISAM. (I don't know if that's related to the issue but just posting here in case it helps someone else tearing their hair out like I was!) This is the code used (as has been posted previously in this thread)

In a custom question called 'prefix':

require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_prefix.php'); 
$thisanswer = $q[$formbit[id]]; 
$prefix_options = fetch_prefix_html($form['forumid'], $thisanswer, true); 
$answer = '<select name="' . $formbit[id] . '" id="q_' . $formbit[id] . '" class="bginput">'; 
$answer .= '<option value="">'.$vbphrase[no_prefix_meta].'</option>'; 
$answer .= $prefix_options; 
$answer .= '</select>';

and in the 'Form Hook: Before Submit:' section:

$form['prefix']  = $form['prefixid'] = $qo['15'];

*where 15 is the question # for the prefix custom question


Thank you developer, awesome plugin! (I tried to get this working years ago and struggled but I guess my vb brain has evolved since then )
