Thanks!

Hi,

Is it possible to organize the answers to the form questions so they are displayed in a table when the form is posted to a thread?

I don't think there is a bbcode table tag. I might use HTML but do not want to turn it on for the whole forum. Plus I tried using HTML and it is displayed in the preview and looks really bad.

Thanks

Sorry no, unless you manually edit them.

Bananalive, i noticed you visited my forum and made a slight change to the plugin code on my top tips form....Thanks!, it's beyond the call of free support!

One question what does the && do?, i was going to delete one but ten thought better of it hence me asking.

When using php conditionals:

if ($a & $b) if $a is true it will exec php code

if ($a && $b) requires both $a and $b to be true to exec php code

Sometime it's useful to have form, accessible by direct link, but hidden from list in main easyforms page.

Current rules doesn't allow to do that.

For example, I have rаrely user for for english feedback, but I don't like to abuse russian-speaking users with it (those are 99% visitors of my site).

I don't know, which implementation is more correct from ideological point of view:

• Separate setting for each group "can see this form in global list"
• Just a flag "hide from global list".

'Show on Form List ' is a checkbox feature of v2.7+ (default = checked/ true)

Thanks. Probably, I've missed that.
