would people mind sharing the forms they've created? here is my first, one for user feedback that posts into an area accessible by site staff.
PHP Code:
// To add more then one form, copy this whole text, and creat a new plug-in with the hook location 'newthread_start'.
// After, change the form name. You can't have 2 forms with the same name.
// Name of this form
$formname = "feedback";
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == $formname)
