This hack allows you to add and manage custom topic types just like announcement or sticky. You can add as many topic types as you want and use them to your posts. This is all is manageable through the ACP.

A topic type is characterized by:

- A specific name that will appear in view forum.
- Custom color of which the topic type will appear in in view forum.
- Possibility of putting the custom topic type post on top of each forum just as a sticky.
- Possibility of choosing the order of appearance of the custom topic types posts behind annoucement and sticky.
- You can choose to use a topic type as a normal post and so it will not appear at the top of view forum.
- Permissions control of the topic types, that allows you to choose who can use a specific topic type.
- You can add your own icons for each topic type that will appear in view forum. If not, a default icon will be shown.

This hack also allows you to change colors of the standard announcement and sticky ones.

In case of change of topic type order, or a delete of a topic type, all existing topics will be automatically updated.

You can choose when posting, between all the topic types you added if you have the right to use them as set by an administrator.
