thank you very much~!!!!!!!!

Need help....

Installed
JS file uploaded to /clientscript/
Java on in browser
Block PopUps disabled in browser
Tried in Firefox 3.6 and I.E. 8

Cannot do anything java related. Cannot delete a question or form.

Any advice?

I've tried overwriting the .xml file but no change.

Thanks

Edit:

I'd also like to know how to do the following:

I'd like to automatically populate the form for each person submitting with their:

username
all profile fields
current date

would this be done in a custom question and what might the code look like???

thanks again for a great add on!!!!

Edit #2:

And... can the email output be changed? I noticed that when sending as a PM the output is rather nice. But sent as an email it looks "fugly"

Probe with several skins and does not change ...

Why nobody answer me?

my users submit the form and get 'please reduce the number of characters'.. I need to allow as many characters as they need... I've looked all over at permissions, have max chars for post at unlimited.. cannot find where to fix it for the form?

If you're using text input fields, after creating the question, click on "edit" and there you can adjust how many characters to allow in the answer.

I'll work on a version which doesnt require javascript for you.

RE: Edit #1.

Yes you could do that by custom question usign the following php code:

PHP Code:

 $answer = '<input type="text" readonly="readonly" id="q_' . $formbit[id] . '" name="' . $formbit[id] . '" value="' . $vbulletin->userinfo[username] . '" class="textbox" />'; 


This is for the username, create more questions for other profile details.

RE: Edit #2

vBulletin does not send html emails, it converts the bb code/ html code into plain text
