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:
and add this right above it:
Next in the same template find:
Make sure its the input that has 'name="subject" ' and then replace it with this:

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.

a screenshot will do.

lol
User with more then 20 posts... It looks normal.

User with less then 20 posts... The extra field shows up.

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

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.

Hi RL Share

Have you upgraded the mod. Is it also poissiblle to put this text in subject "Something descriptive here will fetch better response" as given in Digital Point Forums
