I was always using those hooks I mentioned above with the OLD code, then tried it on the new code with no luck.

I used to insert the code directly into newthread.php and newreply.php before I learned to stick it into the plugin system so I didn't have to edit files on every upgrade. It's so much more convenient.

So if I try it in the forumdisplay_start, I wouldn't have to put it into anywhere else? I'm not trying to prevent people from a forum, I'm preventing the actual POSTING in a forum that does not match their gender? Just wanted to be sure I was clear.

Thank you so much for helping me work through this.
