Great, will install now :) and installed!

Brilliant Idea. Many thanks :)

Maybe vb.org can start using this. :rolleyes:

/me clicks install

Thanks for this.

Wonderfull addon! Thanks a lot.

dangit..you beat me to it

I bow to the superior hack :)

Hahaha... very nice idea.

ty i like this one much better than the one i have ;)

What a mind:D Cybernetec. Great!! thanX

Good one.. I'm gonna use it.

Got a prob.
Don't get forumlist:

Same thing for me

Thanks and installed!

okay ummmm it doesn't work for me lmfao....i had to set it above my post count obviously...tested it and apparently i can create a new thread no problems....i will try and look again

Administrators are not affected. Use another nick which is not in "Administrators" group to test hack.

For those who have other problems, be sure that your "newthread" template contains these three lines:

$navbar

$postpreview

$footer

okay phew...i didn't notice that in the thread....i am sorry i thought i read through everything....thanks for your time.

My template has those 3.... :confused:

thanks i tested it and everything is fine...admins are definitley passed in this one lol

out of curiosity does it have the three templates that this mod creates?

yup

# Cybernetec Templates [? ?]

* cyb_preventnewthread_addition1 [Customize]
* cyb_preventnewthread_addition2 [Customize]
* cyb_preventnewthread_addition3 [Customize]

okay then something else is wrong obviously...just wanted to make sure that they were there....i would say it might be conflicting with another mod? but i have like 70-80 mods....all pretty popular one too so maybe its not that...

sorry i thought i had it figured out ;)

hahahha very sweet hack


* clicks install

Then I see no reason why it wan't work... Plugins included with product searches for those lines in "newthread". If it's there then plugins must work.

Did you tried this hack with default style?

Awesome Idea.

Thanks for this stuff!

We have a problem with the standard editor in firefox 1.5x. You can fill out the title but the editor main field ist grey backgroundet and you can´t fill in any text.

It´s only in firefox, ie is working!

Any idea?

I'm using Firefox all the time and have no any problems.

Humm, I installed it and made a new test account with one post and it will not work either. I checked newthread and it's ok also.

v1.5 - May 10. 2006.

- Improved functionality and compatibility
- Now users with custom styles can use hack regularly (read installation step #3)
- Added settings to choose affected usergroups (view updated screenshots)

- Recommended to upgrade!
- Please uninstall old version before installing new one.

Cybernetec

I'm getting this on bottom..

Uncached templates: cyb_preventnewthread_search1 (1)
Uncached templates: cyb_preventnewthread_search2 (1)

Any way to modify so the templates are being cached?

Thanks..

Ups..... fixed.

Please re-download attachment and re-upload XML.

Thanks.

I uploaded the new version and it still does not work.

thnx 4 update...Updated!

looks very good !

May I have a feature request?

I wish to have excluded some forums from forum list. I think it would be good to include in forum settings wheter they appear on forum-drop-down listo for newbies.
(do not really want to use per usegroup permission, but that will be also the way...)

same problem with firefox 1.5x here

No problem with IE no problem with firefox 1.0.7
Might be problem AJAX related?

I think that form should start with empty forum category, because currently newbies do not open rollout menu, but just proceed and they post in whatever forum they currently are...

---------------------

plus still the problem with FIREFOX!!!

same wish for the future....
