I am really happy about this release because it's actually a very clean plugin. One of my best as far as coding goes. It's extremely minimal and yet very functional plus I did it in just a few hours.

Always my goal. I have a pet peeve about sloppy authors that release plugins that don't work as advertised. I spent a lot of time trying to get it right the first time. I am not always successful but I always quickly fix whatever is found wrong.

Thanks for the comments.

That's sweet. For some reason this plugin reminds me of Digitalpoint, I don't know why though.

[labrocca]

Because DP has something similar running for thread titles. I know that VB plugin. Also sites like Namepros uses something similar. It's fairly common in BST or Support type forums where certain information is required and a template of sorts is there by default.

Here is the Mybb equivelant.

*prays for this to be a future MyBB feature*

Well it probably won't be this would help so much in the support forums.
