It uses the permissions of the forum to send the message to.

So I'd need a different form for every user?

No. You say the form should send to Forumid 1.

Forumid 1 has permissions on what you want. The new thread with use thoughs permissions.

Then I'd need a separate forum for each user? Ideally I want each user within a forum to keep the results of the form private from the other users. I guess this isn't possible?

Yes it's possable. Set the forum's permissions that only the thread starter can see a thread. If you didn't start it, then you wont see it. You can change this for each usergroup so you can have your mods and admins see the threads.

Of course! Excellent, I'll give that a go. Very many thanks.

Is there a way to get subscription working with this. Ive got a problem where if a user submits a thread to a forum using this form the global subscription wont work. Please can someone help with this, as I really like the hack, but really need users to get email notifications to replys to threads that they have started with this form.

????

Many thanks.

I'll have to look into it.

I want to include a link to a form in the postbit....

My question - is there a way that when I click on the link the the username of the post i was in will become one of the variables for output?

ill try to make it clear...

I run a trading site...if I go to post made by User X and click on the link I want User X's username to be a variable in the form as the person I trade with (etc User X will become $normalquestion1).

Any idea?

Thanks Abe1
