This looks really nice and easy to use. I've already spent way too much time getting the other product FormHack to finally work, but I'll be keeping an eye on this one.

Nice work!

The vbulletin admin panel needs to be done with check boxes not a scroll list. We have around 30 usergroups and this is a huge pain to scroll through this little box.

Getting this error when creating a form

Database error in vBulletin 3.7.4:

Invalid SQL:
UPDATE forms SET title = 'test', description = 'test', displayorder = '1', action = '2', forms.where = '', threadtitle = '', category = '', polloptions = '', pollquestion = '', poll = '0', publicpoll = '0', multiplepoll = '0', usergroups = '', submitmessage = 'test' WHERE fid = '3';

Had to manually do "ALTER TABLE forms ADD submitmessage text NOT NULL"

Not sure why it did not update with the upgrade.

I've tried to make it as simple and easy to use as possible

[buurman]

is it possible to make an option to upload attachments in a form?

[anuanu]

Found possible error.

When i set the permissions in the "Easy Form Options" It still wont let the user groups view the form. The permission for the Form list seems to work correctly but to view the actual form doesnt.

So far only Administrators can view the form.
