Adding rules to newthreadbit (that goes away when users enter text)
 

Hey,

Is there a way without causing errors to modify the box I am typing in right now (newreply/newthread) so in the white box the rules are posted until the user clicks into the box to type (then it becomes clear)?

wow..no help again...I thought this was the #1 vbulletin group..

None of the members here are being paid to answer your questions. Sometimes questions are asked that go unanswered... simply because the answer to the particular question is unknown, or the thread's author wants to be a smartass. I'll leave it to you to figure out which option applies here.

Yes, you can. If you look in the template for newthread or newreply, you can put a value in textarea. That can be a phrase, which you can define to say whatever you wish.

As far as the clearing when the user clicks to type, that would take javascript and I'm no real expert with javascript.

No hacking needed.

If I wanted a conditional so that the rules only appear in certain forumids for the newreply what would I place?

You should make your own thread to get help. It's hard for us to follow threads that have multiple people asking for help to do different things. For you, I'd suggest heading over to the Articles area and looking at the vbulletin articles. There are some in there about the variables and conditionals you can use.
