[CB] Prefix selection on new threads

[Wormopolis]

Browser tested: IE and FF
placement: board footer

creates a selection list that member must choose before thread can be created. selection appends a set prefix to the beginning of a thread for things like request types or character creations. selection list does not show up when modifying the post except for admins.

code:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
//  Prefix on posts using checkboxes
//  By Wormopolis - Request by Kami
//  keep header intact

var chkBxArray = [
["<CODE>","Code Request"],    //format:  PREFIX , checkbox label
["<IMG>","Image Request"],
["<BAN>","Banner Request"],
["<SIG>","Signature Request"],
["<ILuvWorm>","Request to date Wormo"]
];

var explanationOFsubmitdisabled="Submit button disabled until Request Type chosen";
var additionalInstruction="Please read rules before posting";
var leftSideLabel="Request Type:";


//  no need to edit below, unless you know what you are doing
