Require PostIcon For New Thread · **Released**: 07-20-2003

This is a very simple hack, but quite effective when you want to enforce the use of threadicons for new threads.

What this does is create a little javascript popup similar to those which appear when you don't include a subject or a message when you post. If someone doesn't have javascript enabled, then it takes them to an error page instead and they have to click back to add a post icon to their post.

This COULD just be a template hack, but the editing of the php file ensures that those who aren't using javascript will be forced to used a posticon when they post too. Feel free to miss it if you prefer...

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
