Thanks bananalive for the fast support.

Is it possible to make a default value for Dropdown Selects or radio buttons?
so when a user is shown several options like the following:

option1
option2
option3

without them doing anything "option1" will be selected by default?

Maybe giving us the option to put a character next to the text so that the system can see it is a default value, like:

*option1
option2
option3

The form will know that option1 is the default value.
I know that we can make questions compulsory, but I would prefer some kind of default value, maybe a text box where we can type in a default value if the above idea doesn't appeal to you..

You could use form hook to achieve this.

Form Hook: Form Start:
Replace 7 with correct question hash

is it possible to have this form work on a closed forum (closed to unregistered users) so they can apply to register to the site (we are selective on members) and it posts the form to a thread (if that forum is not accessible to unregistered users)

yes i think its does that

What are the instructions ?

I have it emailing ok - but it wont post

Do you get error message?

Also try attached file it has some changes to allow for posting in forums which user doesn't have access to.

Still no joy - here is the error message

Yes it is, greater than 4 months.

Works beautifully, clicked installed.

May I ask, how can we set the layout better.

ie.

First Name
Albert Einstein

Would rather it appeared like:

First Name - Albert Einstein
