OK, I really the idea of this hack; as I am the one who requested the original hack ( something like this ) to Marco. However, I do have a question..can I make it so that a specific forum - can only have 1 thread per user..ever? Not just by time.

That isn't literally an option BUT the amount of time between threads by a user can be set as high as 999,999,999 minutes or 1902 years! So, practically speaking that's the same as forever!

:D

I don't see where to limit the amount of threads per forum..I see the limit # of threads and how long to wait...but where is the per-forum basis??

OK, I got it to work..thanks. What is the phrase/where can I edit the denial box for people that can't post a thread/post in that forum? What is the phrase name?

mmm very nice

OK, so this is a great mod and all..but after having it installed for a while. Whens someone posts in my Introductions forum, and then tries to post in another section ( in that same forum group ) it doesn't let them..so I am not sure what the problem is, but I think it records the entire forum group and not just sub-forums, even though I have it input to just do one specific sub-forum.

Thank you for writing this! We really needed it. One question, shouldn't it state that allowed number of threads is in hours and not minutes? Meaning, when someone tries posting, and you have it set to 24, it says, number of posts/threads allowed for 24 minutes instead of 24 hours. Unless I'm reading this wrong. But in the code it takes your minute value times 60 which I assume it is taking hours and converting to minutes. So if you put '1' as the value, 1 * 60 would be 1 hour. But it would show the user, 1 minute.

It should only apply to the forum that the user is posting in and not impact sub-forums. If you want, PM me your site url with an admin login and password and I'll check it out.

No, the time is in minutes. I originally had the defaults in hours, hence the 24. But, I changed it to minutes so that admins had more granular control. The time 60 is to bring the value in the time field into the right factor as the vb time stamp.
