Add a thread of the month tag

[Alshain]

People keep asking in the threads of the month why threads are stickied when @sal_vager awards them that title.  We know from RoverDude's mod threads that you can add pink tags which normal users can not add (ours are grey).  My suggestion is to add a pink tag called "Thread of the Month" that can be assigned by sal_vager to help clarify this if possible.

Nice idea, one that I think @KasperVld would have to implement though

You create a tag by editing the OP, and once a tag has been added you can select it as the prefix for the thread

Let me test...

Edit:

Looks legit.

Can anyone do this or only moderators?

Or more to the point, how do I do that? I see no way to select a tag.

I think it's only Mods and Staff who can do that.

Since kerny Kerman was a thread of the month, may I please get the tag?

[Dman979]

And, because they will eventually not be the TOTM, maybe add a "Former TOTM" tag?

sal_vager would have to decide how he wants to do it, but I had meant for it to be a temporary tag to be removed after the 1 month.  He could however add the month and year to the tag if he wanted to.

We can add tags to our threads, but they are grey

EDIT: I think, though if I edit this one here I can see the tag sal gave it.  Not entirely sure how that works lol.

EDIT 2: Yeah, see when I tried to edit it, it changed it to grey.  So only mods can do the pink ones.  If sal or one of the mods would change that back to a prefix, I'll check to see if adding new tags (with a comma) removes it.

Done, give it a try.

Thanks, looks like it actually kills it if the OP even edits the content without touching the tags.  That is unfortunate, especially if a mod is given TOTM, since those threads get edited the most.
