vb.org Archive - Forum Home Enhancements - Create Topic

Increase your forum activity and registration by having a module/block that allows users to instantly create a topic from homepage or main forum, or if they are not registered they will get the popup Log In or Register Window. I created this thinking how I could take advantage of vbulletins Log In window and also help with fast thread creation.

Create a thread with ONE CLICK from homepage!

If you find this mod helpful then please don't forget to Rate/Mark Installed/Nominate I know its easy to forget, I do it myself, but if you use it then try and remember :)

At times the code does not generate right away, give it some time. I have also noticed with vBadvanced that the preview does not work (might just be me)
