xF2 Add-on AndyB Auto prefix by last post 1.4

Description:

Auto change thread prefix based on last post user.

This add-on is ideal for a support ticket forum. The thread prefix is automatically changed depending on the last post user. For example if a member starts a support ticket the prefix will be automatically set to 'Pending staff reply' and when the staff replies it will automatically be set to 'Pending customer reply' and so on. When the customer gets his question answered, staff will manually change the prefix to 'Resolved'.

How it works:

When a customer starts a new thread the Prefix ID 1 is used. When a staff member make a reply to the thread Prefix ID 2 will be used.
