Maybe a solution to people posting in the wrong forum?

I saw over on @Snog's site that he has some verbiage populated in the text box when posting a message. Is there any way to have a custom message for each forum area? What I'd LIKE to have is this message display when somebody is starting a new topic. I'd like some type of verbiage that states something to the affect, "Please be sure you're posting about X topic in this forum. If not, please find the forum that related to your message"...

I run a bunch of XF's and this could save me a lot of time... Thoughts?

/admin.php?thread-prompts/

This would be perfect but it needs to be in the body - not the title. On mobile, the title only has enough room for a few characters. Would the previous suggestion work better in that case?

It's up to you

On mobile title box expands vertically iirc. Still shows full content.

For text in message you could try this add to the template forum_post_thread (at the end)

<xf:js>$("textarea[name='message_html']").html("<span>Please note </span>");</xf:js>
