Feature Request: Prefixes in Shooting For Sale/Wanted

Rovi

Would it be possible to implement prefixes in the Shooting For Sale/Wanted forum?

The forum doesn't get a huge amount of traffic, but I guesstimate that 25-30% of the posts there don't have anything in the thread title to indicate their intention.

At the moment, I'm just editing the titles of the ones with nothing at all, but even the others have a wide variety of 'styles', for want of a better word; things like: FS, [FOR SALE], 'for sale', etc, in random positions in the thread title.

It's all just a bit messy and forced prefixes would tidy it all up, and also relieve me of the onerous task of editing a thread title every now and then.


I think we'd only want three prefixes:
For Sale:
Wanted:
Bargain Alert:


A few twists that would make it very cool:
Can prefixes be inserted as above, without box brackets and mad colours?
Is it possible to have no 'No Prefix' option, to force users to select one of the above, and can the selection of a prefix be made mandatory?
Simultaneously, is it possible to retain the 'No Prefix' option for Mod posts?


Thanks for reading the above, I hope it makes sense.

If not we can always post in Shooting and then move the thread.

Hey, I hadn't thought of that, that'd work fine!

I'd still like for there to be no 'No Prefix' option though, and it should be mandatory to select one of the available options before the system will allow the post.

On mature reflection, I suppose we could live with the square brackets too (/B]prefix[B), but I'd love to avoid the colours if at all possible.
