I knew it was something simple.

There is nothing in Easy Forms code which limits the strings so I've got no idea what could be causing it.

I've tried everything I can think of.

I uninstalled the product.
I manually dropped the results table from SQL just to be sure. (Uninstaller doesn't do this)
I re-uploaded the misc.php file to be sure it's not a problem with that.
I re-uploaded the .js and .css files.
I've reinstalled the product & reimported one of the .xml files.

Same results..

Not sure where to go from here. I'd really hate to be forced abandon this mod.

Anyone out there have any suggestions I haven't tried yet?

Thanks - I created the questions before that option was added - Duh! should have checked!

[XLCR GODFATHER]

will I still have the forms I created in a previous version if I upgrade to the newest version?

[Cedric_FP]

What function does "Save to database" have?

Is it simply for saving the progress of a form?

Also, is there anyway to to use the "Add post to thread" function similarly to a "post new reply" button?

As in, the form can automatically fill in the thread ID depending on the referring URL for the form (as the referring URL will contain the thread id if used instead of a new reply button)?

[apietersen]

Thanks for this mod

- remark: I have a kind of corurpted window when selecting edit question. Can not use it beacuse questionfields do overlap each other. I this a bug or a problem on my site? - this happend from the first version I have installed until 4.0.7

[Cedric_FP]

bananalive,

Could you post the code for creation of a new thread to enter into Form Hook: Before Submit, but using the "build_new_post" function instead of the datamanager?

[MikeWarner]

Strange - I added the plugin to redirect to the forms when clicking "New Thread" in certain forums, however it doesn't work properly. It goes to the normal thread post page. When you fill that in and hit submit, it then takes you to the form. However, if you ignore this, you find the post has been made.

Any ideas? I'm using vBSEO, but it did work in vB3.7 with vBSEO running.

Is there another way to link from the New Thread buttons - i.e. conditionals in the templates?

Please help, Thanks

[XLCR GODFATHER]

Will I lose any of my current forms or form results if I upgrade?

[MikeWarner]

My content stayed when upgrade. You can download the forms it you are worried about it though - then reupload.
