u r Ok... lol gr8 1! :p

thanks much.

Since people like screenshots...

Excellent. Just what I needed. I'm so tired of "help me" and "look at this" crap post titles. I want to know what's there before I have to click on it. Better SEO, too.

Looks to work on vB 3.7 and 3.8 both.

Thanks! :)

Yes, it works in 3.8.7.
And the option is in the "Message Posting and Editing" section, about halfway down.

I realize this is a slow reply, but it may help others. ;)

Chrome browser is somehow ignoring this mod now.

You have to edit the template in order to work in Chrome too.

Replace the minimum_characters template with following

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">

<!--

function validatemessage(messagetext, subjecttext, minchars)

{

var kontrol = PHP.trim(stripcode(subjecttext, false, ignorequotechars));



        if (subjecttext.length < $vboptions[mincharters])

        {

                // subject not specified



                alert('<phrase 1="$vboptions[mincharters]">$vbphrase[must_enter_subject2]</phrase>');

                return false;

        }

        else

        {

                var stripped = PHP.trim(stripcode(messagetext, false, ignorequotechars));



                if (stripped.length < minchars)

                {

                        // minimum message length not met

                        alert(construct_phrase(vbphrase['message_too_short'], minchars));

                        return false;

                }

                else if (typeof(document.forms.vbform) != 'undefined' && typeof(document.forms.vbform.imagestamp) != 'undefined')

                {

                        // This form has image verification enabled

                        document.forms.vbform.imagestamp.failed = false;



                        if (document.forms.vbform.imagestamp.value.length != 6)

                        {

                                alert(vbphrase['complete_image_verification']);

                                document.forms.vbform.imagestamp.failed = true;

                                document.forms.vbform.imagestamp.focus();

                                return false;

                        }

                        else

                        {

                                return true;

                        }

                }

                else

                {

                        // everything seems ok

                        return true;

                }

        }

}

// -->

</script>

Basically it just removes the Chrome controls from template.
