[Xenon]

why do i get a feeling like im getting the run around?

we are working on avoid that in the future, just right now, it's spread up that way...

but i fear, this time i was wrong....

vb3 doesn't allow this as a template codition, so you have to edit newthread.php
find that:

PHP Code:

    construct_edit_toolbar($newpost['message'], 0, $foruminfo['forumid'], $foruminfo['allowsmilies']); 


and replace with:

PHP Code:

    construct_edit_toolbar(iif($foruminfo['forumid'] == XX AND $newpost['message'] == '', 'Your predefinied text here', $newpost['message']), 0, $foruminfo['forumid'], $foruminfo['allowsmilies']);
