XF 1.2 Why is No Prefix an option where a prefix is required?

[Stuart Wright]

This is frustrating because I have a forum where a prefix is required, and the default is set to one of the defined prefixes.
Except No Prefix is still a selectable option.
Why? And how do I remove it?
Thanks

It is an option but on post submit the member will see an error.

The following error occurred:
Please select a prefix.

The no prefix option exists as moderators are able to override the option - to post a sticky thread for example.

Adding this to EXTRA.css will remove it from the list:

.node32 .prefix.noPrefix {
display: none !important;
}

Change 32 to the actual node ID.

Awesome, thanks Brogan.

This is probably a very easy css thing, but I've looked and can't find a solution which works. How do I efficiently do the above for 20 nodes?
I tried

.node51, .node62, .node85, .node99, .node142, .node153, .node154, .node185, .node198, .node199, .node241, .node243, .node329, .node330, .node338, .node339, .node340, .node341, .node343, .node344, .node353, .node358, .node379, .node380, .node394, .node402, .node409, .node476, .node492 .prefix.noPrefix { display: none !important; }

But it didn't work.
Note to self - add css to the php, mySQL, JS, Zend and jQuery courses I have to book myself on to.

You have to do each selector like so:

.node32 .prefix.noPrefix,
.node33 .prefix.noPrefix,
.node34 .prefix.noPrefix,
.node35 .prefix.noPrefix {
display: none !important;
}

.node51 .prefix.noPrefix, .node62 .prefix.noPrefix, .node85 .prefix.noPrefix, .node99 .prefix.noPrefix, .node142 .prefix.noPrefix, .node153 .prefix.noPrefix, .node154 .prefix.noPrefix, .node185 .prefix.noPrefix, .node198 .prefix.noPrefix, .node199 .prefix.noPrefix, .node241 .prefix.noPrefix, .node243 .prefix.noPrefix, .node329 .prefix.noPrefix, .node330 .prefix.noPrefix, .node338 .prefix.noPrefix, .node339 .prefix.noPrefix, .node340 .prefix.noPrefix, .node341 .prefix.noPrefix, .node343 .prefix.noPrefix, .node344 .prefix.noPrefix, .node353 .prefix.noPrefix, .node358 .prefix.noPrefix, .node379 .prefix.noPrefix, .node380 .prefix.noPrefix, .node394 .prefix.noPrefix, .node402 .prefix.noPrefix, .node409 .prefix.noPrefix, .node476 .prefix.noPrefix, .node492 .prefix.noPrefix {
display: none !important;
}

Im glad you asked as this was bugging me too.

I tried this in xf1.3 and it hides the whole prefix choosing when creating a thread?! Anyone know why.

I just tried another solution to this, I removed the first line:

<option value="0" data-css="prefix noPrefix" {xen:selected '{$selectedPrefix} == 0'}>({xen:phrase no_prefix})</option>

in the title_prefix_edit_options template.
