Some suggestions for coding:

• Put code that is used throughout all actions (do=whatever) on top of each plugin. Example:
  

  $fid = $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('p', 'fid', TYPE_UINT);

  or, have each action its own plugin
  
• I'd love to have the program creating a database table for each form. That would be very great. You then can make a review type out of it just with adding a database key so that there can only be one entry for one userid. Querying this data would be far more easy, though.

Security issue. A user may delete other users results by entering their formresults id.

In plugin Easy Forms Part 2 replace

if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'deleteformresult') 
{ 
    $caneditform = unserialize($vbulletin->options['caneditform']); 
    if ($caneditform && !is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, $caneditform)) 
    { 
        print_no_permission(); 
    } 
    $id = $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('g', 'id', TYPE_UINT); 
    $fid = $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('g', 'fid', TYPE_UINT); 
    $db->query_write("DELETE FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "formresults WHERE id=$id"); 

to

if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'deleteformresult') 
{ 
    $caneditform = unserialize($vbulletin->options['caneditform']); 
    if ($caneditform && !is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, $caneditform)) 
    { 
        print_no_permission(); 
    } 
    $id = $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('g', 'id', TYPE_UINT); 
    $db->query_write("DELETE FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "formresults WHERE id=$id and userid=" . $vbulletin->userinfo[userid] . ""); 

The $fid seems to be not needed and therefore does not need to be included in the url.

I think solution could be as I already wrote (it is more flexible than hardcoded question types restrictions):

But when you ask -- "how many times you have been to USA" for example, -- answers can repeat from one to another, and in Poll Results you can see interesting graphs. When you ask something and answers pre-given in check boxes, for example, Poll Results will be greate. That is why check box near question in Edit Form about Pollable or not question will be greate idea, as I think.

Sorry my English.

Like we already have checkbox about required this question or not.

I have prepared some suggestions about Form's "first page". May be they could be interesting (see attached picture).

Fixed in v4.1.1
