Notes:
I'm always looking to improve my work for the people that enjoy using it. If you have any suggestions on how I can improve this hack then please leave a comment and I'll see what I'm able to do. Don't forget to 'Mark As Installed' if you've got it installed!

Would it be possible for you to also add a feature, and limit this to 1. certain forums. 2. certain polls.

That would be cool :)

Good idea there buddy, number 1 definately. However, could you please elaborate on number 2 because I don't understand. Sorry haha, I must need sleep :P

[Hornstar]

sure :)

On one of my forums, I would only want to enable this feature in 1 or 2 threads. In all other polls on the whole site I don't mind how many posts they have.

So for example, if we wanted to enable the post restriction on a poll in this thread, we would input the thread id. -> 284897

So having a box where you can input thread id's separated by commas, would be cool :) (Unless you can think of a simpler way to do it)

Hope that is clearer ^^

Oh, I see. That's a very good idea infact. I'll get to work on coding that up.

Thank you for the great idea my friend! :D

Hi
I was done some thing like this in 3.x days :)
but it was option for every poll, so poll creator or moderators can put the values or change them, I add the "how many days from register" too as condition.
But unfortunately I'm not a familiar with vb4.0 to port it !!

If it weren't a problem with you, I could attempt to port it to vBulletin 4.x for you?
