[VBUsers]

it makes you click on the box before you can enter the title of the thread.

I believe Appraisals is the BEST section for this topic

The Universal Pain in the Ass mod.

I understand the cause of wanting to use it, but you'll only make your board more annoying! ease-of-use should be everyone's primary focus.

i'd highly suggest using it once, for their very first post, returning a mousedown (or onClick) event (an alert or some custom popup) that has your message in it. if people can't get the hint after being told once, then 20 times won't make much difference

Ok I created a quick one, tested in IE 7 and firefox 2 & 3. Also note it doesn't disable the message area like it does on digital point, well because I didn't feel like going through VB's javascript to try to figure out how to at this time. But disabling the subject will achieve the same effect as the user cannot create a thread with it disabled.

So here goes

First the template edits:

Go to,
AdminCP->Styles & Templates->Style Manager->Your Style->Edit Templates->New Posting Templates-> NewThread

First find:
$usernamecode

and add this right above it:
$pb_areyousure

Next in the same template find:
<input type="text" class="bginput" name="subject" value="$subject" size="40" maxlength="$vboptions[titlemaxchars]" tabindex="1" />

Make sure its the input that has 'name="subject" ' and then replace it with this:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['posts']<=20">
<input type="text" class="bginput" name="subject" id="pb_subject" value="$subject" size="40" maxlength="$vboptions[titlemaxchars]" tabindex="1" disabled="disabled" />
<else />
<input type="text" class="bginput" name="subject" value="$subject" size="40" maxlength="$vboptions[titlemaxchars]" tabindex="1" />

</if>


Next just import the plugin I attached.


One last note, its set up to stop showing for users with more then 20 posts because thats what you asked for.

example?

Its on my test board, I can't show you. It looks exactly as it does in that picture with the exception that 'logged in as whoever' shows up below the message/checkbox area.

any point having the tick bit there if it doesnt work? lol

[RLShare]

Re-read what i said before. It disables the subject not the message area, eitherway with the subject disabled you cannot submit a thread. Meaning it achieves the same thing, you have to tick it before you can create a thread..

I guess i should change the text of the subject field and make it more noticable that it gets disabled like it is on Digital point. I might do that tomorrow.
