Hi - thanks for your reply,

Although that does work - the problem I get is that I cannot selct individual usergroups.

ie:
Administrators
Banned Users
Moderators
Not loggin
Super Moderators

I click on Administors and that is highlighted, I then click on moderators and the "Banned Users" between the two highlights. I have tried all ways to do it - but the Only way that I could get it to work is Add an "A" before the ones that I want to be able to view the form.

Also, how do I get it as a link please? It shows in the address bar as "http:// mywebsite.com/admin/index.php" or words to that effect, Sorry.

I can not get the security / Anti-spam question to work either.

I type the question, and the answer, but Both the question and answer show on my form. (Is the answer case sensitive? The reason I ask is that I entered the answer twice, once with a capital and agin with a lower case letter at the start of the answer. Maybe this is the reason).

I cannot get the Capatcha image on, by itself - I have to type a security question in for it to show.

Your help on the above matters would be very much appreciated.

ah as for my issue its talkerbot related

as for welshy have you tried ctrl as you select options?

that works for me

[Welshy2008]

Hi Redeemed - I followed the Mod's Instructions to the tee and used the "CTRL" Key.

It did work upto the point maentioned in my post above. post number 313

With regards to my question on the "Human Verification Question", It still don't work with just the one answer.

When I select the "HVQ" it shows the CaPacha image also. I just want one or the other.

Your help is appreciated and congratualations on a great hack.

If you only want one usergroup selected then don't hold down ctrl. To deselect a usergroup ctrl+click it.

That's due to the frames used in the admin control panel:
admincp/options.php?do=options&dogroup=easyforms

The human verification question is the default vBulletin human verification question.

There was error with human verification question which is causing it to display twice, which will be fixed in next version.

I have an error in beta 3.

At the top of the specific form's page there's this.

Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in [path]/misc.php(100) : eval()'d code on line 3552

[nascartr]

Also, when trying to submit the forum I get errors saying the form was not filled out.

The form did not submit as the following questions are unanswered:

• Pole Sitter
• Wreckers
• Checkers
• Dominator
• Underachiever
• Wildcard
