I have like, lot of boards I wanna use this form with.

Instead of making one form for each board, I was thinking if it's possible if the user making the NEW THREAD/FORM could choose the board and threadprefix inside the form he's filling up?

Also, in some boards where form will be use, is there a way we could change the link be changed to NEW FORM link?

I'm using 3.8

Thanks!

Is there any easy way to export the forum results in table form (instead of just viewing it on the site)?

I'm using this to run a competition - a publisher is supplying a prize, and members have to answer 20 questions. It's working perfectly, but when the competition closes I need to send the results to the publisher so that they can check the answers and pick three winners.

This means they'll need it in some readable format - Excel would be ideal, of course, but a comma-delineated or tab-delineated list will also work.

Why not export the table from your MySql database as a CSV?

Because I don't know how! I tend to avoid using MySQL as much as possible because I don't know what I'm doing, except when I'm following exact instructions.

What would I need to do to do that?

If you are using cpanel then:
cpanel>phpmyadmin>YOUR FORUM DATABASE but you need to know how or where you are storing your submissions.

I'm just using regular PhpMyAdmin through me web browser. But I don't know where or how this mod stores the entries.

[Simon Lloyd]

Are you having the results pm'd to you or having them posted to a forum..........etc?

[dutchbb]

How can we prevent that topics are always placed in moderation?

Hi,

Can you tell me how I can display images within the question description? I've tried adding bbcode and pure html but without luck.

I need to show images as I'm using the form to create a competition where some of the questions ask the user to comment on an image.

Thanks,

Dave
