Differentiate B/w Submitted/Non-submitted topics

[champ_007_bond]

I was locking the submitted topics inside the guest section of my forum, so that i can easily differentiate b/w the submitted n non-submitted topics.

but i am thinking to going for something else
cysforum.com is having something good for this, though i dunno whats it.

is there any proper method to differentiate b/w the submitted n non-submitted topics, so that i can avoid topic locking ????
ofc, i dont want to see the number of topics views too!

using smf 2.0 rc3
hoping for a help
thanks

Why not change your forum icons for submitted topic from this to something else?

That's the easiest most visual thing for you to do without installing any custom mods or doing edits.

Would be better to use Prefix Mod I think, dunno if SMF have one tho. So once you submit download you just change prefix to [Submitted] or something

mate, v can choose that from a certain available buttons
i dont think, it is time saving

prefixing will be good though i dunno any solution

[Smith]

I have some free time PM me Prefix Mod, Login details and I will install it for you. Just make sure you backup forum.

@ Smith - mate thanks, though i am not that dumb, i just want a proper directed solution, i will implement it myself!

I use a very simple way for differentiating between them.
I'm using phpbb3, and whenever I open a thread before submitting it, it becomes "No new posts" thread for me, and I don't submit it again and submit only those which are "New posts" thread. Simple, isn't it?

No problem mate hehe, as for solutions, you have 2, like happy said either to change post icon or add prefix.
