I just tend to use : on it so it will still look strange.

What you could do is, in ./showthread.php, line 62, find:

$thread['threadprefix'] = $threadprefix['prefix'].' ';

change to:

$thread['threadprefix'] = "[" . $threadprefix['prefix'].'] ';

Then it'll show as [Prefix] where you circled in your printscreen.

OK, I made the modification and it looks fine now. Thanks for your help.

However, I recommend to made this setting separate from the PHP code in the next version of MyBB, so that the users can set it up more easily. I think it is a necessary modification, which makes the thread window title more easily to read.

OK Matt, fair point. Let's just say it's an oversight in general then. Either way this implementation is awkward as it is.

That's why I recommend to separate this setting from the PHP code, so that the users can easily setup the separator strings as what they want.

BTW, on my forum, the prefixes display with the display style properly:

Did you change the "showthread.php" file before?

Nope ... was this way when I installed the theme, so maybe it's a theme issue?

I use the default theme and it causes this issue. Maybe some 3rd party themes use the modified codes and therefore avoid the issue.
