sounds like you borrowed this idea from fark and somethingawful

[eXtremeTim]

I have never even been to fark or somethingawful :-/. I just decided this would be a good feature last night while i was making my thread description hack.

[Xyphen]

What is this?? Can I see a before and after image? o.O

[eXtremeTim]

Before image not needed you should know what a thread listing on forumdisplay.php looks like.

The after is attached. You can select from a big list of different post types so its not only just informative.

Nice ExtremeTim. I've added a font color for the threadbit because otherwise it looks if the thread type is part of the subject.

[Dean C]

Why not add an admincp section to add different threadtypes? Easy enough to do and can be ordered nicely via a displayorder field

[eXtremeTim]

I didn't have time to make any method for the acp. Like i said I just sat down last night and was working on the changes for teh thread description hack and decided this would be a good idea. So I made this one at the same time.

Is there a way I could make this be in the edit post also?

[eXtremeTim]

I will look into that one.
