There is a big problem with this because if somebody didn't chose a posticon and he gets back to the thread the whole text he entered is gone which can make some people pretty angry. Wouldnt it be easier if there is something like this mod is using.

I attached an example of the mod, notice the text is not lost.

and this will only apply to forums 12, 14, 17.

this does not work at me :hurt:

Help
would really be interested in per forums icons if possible

[coderphp]

good thank you

[bongwater]

thanks for the hack. How can I change the text of the message to something more customized, for my forum users?

[Silverstangs]

I like the idea of this hack, but some users may find it annoying.

Here you go.

[EvilArcana]

Installed, and thank you!

Is there a way to default it to the first posticon in your list? I want to require they select a posticon, but I don't want to make them go back and select one if I can default it to the first one.

Another thing I noticed is that it ignores quick reply. There should be an option for default post icon for quickreply or to show the posticon bit for quick reply editor.
