I don't disagree. Even if it IS a feature, it clearly needs some fine-tuning because as it is now it's annoying.

Maybe I need to look back at vB 4.2.5 patch level 4000 as a workable solution. Then I wouldn't have the spurious browser warnings and the Easy Forms 4.2.5 would work.

vB 4.2.5 patch level 4000? We're currently only at 4.1.7 and the previous versions of Easy Forms will not work with any version since the CKEditor was introduced.

[bigrover]

I meant to type vB 4.1.5, latest patch level whatever that is. Sorry to confuse.

[djbaxter]

Actually, now I've forgotten. Was the CJK Editor introduced in 4.1.5 or 4.1.6? Either way, you'd have to go back to the old editor to get the former versions of this add-on to work.

I was able to resolve the problem with the "leave page" issue by modifying and uncompressed version of the clientscript/vbulletin_textedit.js file. I found the fix here - https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/show...=1#post2201080

I have another mod, vS Hide Hack, the installs a button in the editor toolbar. It shows up everywhere except when the editor is included in the Easy Form vB editor question display. Anyone else see this and is there a workaround to support the custom buttons and related features?

Hello Banana live, well done for the great mod,

One Question, might be very simple for you but i did not find and answer yet looking around,

I would like to have a quick PM to user link in the form submitted, as to have a quick reply in the posted data.

Ok so i installed this, how do make a new form. the only admin options are for user permissions, it asks me for upload xml in my forms button here

[deverill2010]

Hiya I haven't updated this for a while as it works perfectly for me before the new editor.

Anyhow before I update I was wondering if there was a way to limit a user sending a form.

I.e needs to have 10 posts before they can submit a form.

Is that possible with the latest version?
