XF 2.0 Adding a Thread tip? (picture included)

[Tattooed Theist]

Hey guys, I really like how this forum has a thread tip between title and body when you try to post a thread.

I'd love to be able to have different tips for different forums.

Anyone know what add-on this is? or how it can be accomplished?

You could use the built-in prompt feature of XF for a light version of what you want to do.
For example "Uh oh... what went wrong?" kind of one-liners.



And as for addons what I found are these ones:

If you don't want to install an add-on you can edit the forum_post_thread template and add the following:

Find:

maxlength="{{ max_length('XF:Thread', 'title') }}" />

Add directly below that:

<div class="blockMessage blockMessage--iconic blockMessage--important">
                <p>
                    <b>Tip:</b> For best results, type a title as if you're Googling for the answer!
                </p>
                <p>
                    Be as detailed as possible in the box below!
                </p>
            </div>

That uses the XenForo default important message classes.

Result:
