nice color. Thank for this mod.

Some kind of same problem than other mentionned before but not sure if it's a bug or not.

If I choose to not show the closed prefix and to show the sticky one, this is what I get:

In the forum, if my thread is closed and sticky, I only see the Sticky prefix in blue and that's ok since it's what I have in my settings.

But if my thread is kind of new and is shown as a result on the search page, the prefix sticky is not there! If I reopen the thread, the prefix re-appears...

This is the actual config I have with the hack (see picture)

From the looks of your screenshot, you're using an older version - I'd recommend you upgrade to the latest version.

Per your problem, I've replicated the bug on my test board and I'll fix it as soon as free time allows me.

Sure, I'll look into it for the next release.

Just a general update for anyone that's concerned. I'm still racking my brain over figuring a way to satisfy everyone's needs for the Sticky Thread Combo. situation. The simplest way would be to just color it Sticky regardless - but I've seen a few people that would like their Stickied Polls to show up as Polls and others with different combinations; perhaps I could give everyone instructions to custom tailor the hack to suit their needs -- I'm open to suggestions if anyone has them.

After thinking about this how about a new line:

For under the closed row:
Color of sticky/closed?

For under the poll row:
Color of sticky/poll?

etc etc etc

Some things I would like to see added...

The ability to add different text attributes such as:

Blink
Bold
Italic
Underline
Strike

Maybe even fonts?

Each of these would be a tick box with their own row under the color box.

Thanks for the great hack too!

edit: I know the current system has this ability through html tags...I was just thinking that boxes would make it easier to use

Very cool hack, thanks for sharing.

Sorry but just write over what exactly in quick edit form? There is no template to edit with your hack, just a product import then what do you want us to write over?

Besides this it's a great hack.

[Kirk Y]

You write over everything in the Quick Edit field -- where the Thread Title code is displayed.
