Yes, if your browser supports JavaScript.

Just click on the columns and it will sort table.

Yes

I have one request.

You currently have this with the ability to format the output of the form, but would it be possible to be able to format the display of the form itself?

For example:
I have a form requesting a mailing address, which has 4 questions related to it (Street, City, State, Zip). Currently this form would have each question on a separate line, but it would be nice if the City, State & Zip were on the same line.

Input Current:
{qn_1}: {qo_1}
{qn_2}: {qo_2}
{qn_3}: {qo_3}
{qn_4}: {qo_4}

Wanted Input:
{qn_1}:
{qo_1}
{qo_2}, {qo_3} {qo_4}

Similar to how you can customize the output display.

In the next version, I've added address question type, which you could customise.

Also, the ability to have other user information (such as email) automatically entered from their vBulletin profile, such as how you can get their vb username inserted, would be absolute icing!

Create Custom Question with the following php code:

PHP Code:

$answer = '<textarea cols="40" rows="3" class="textbox" readonly="readonly" id="q_' . $formbit[id] . '" name="' . $formbit[id] . '">' . $vbulletin->userinfo[email] . ' </textarea>'; 


or

PHP Code:

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


First one is multi-line, second one is single lined

1. Find in template form_view
   

   <div class="blocksubhead restore">{vb:raw form.description}</div>

2. Replace with:
   

   <div class="blocksubhead restore" style="font-weight: normal;">{vb:raw form.description}</div>

If I use Easy Forms to create new Threads in a Forum, an inserted Picture will always inserted as an attachment.

Could you please insert an option to choose as Attachment, or as an Image direktly to the thread (not as Thumbnail)?
Inserted at the cursorposition.

Thanks in advance.

Any Ideas in this or do you work on this?

Thanks in advance.

Whenever someone previews a form on my site, it will autofill in all dropdown select questions. Given that each form has 20+ and users generally only need to fill in 25% of them, it's extremely problematic.

Pushing it here, I know - But would it be possible, not just to add an inline image, but to add a url to make that image a clickable image (To open a new window to visit that webpage), and to have the option to add alt code to it too, Please, BA?

Many Thanks.

You can use the custom format output to do this. Have one question be the url to said picture.

In your custom output (if the img is Q #1):

PHP Code:

Inline:
[img]https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/[/img]

clickable:
[url={qo_1}][img]https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/[/img][/url] 


You can do the same with URLs. I have my forms using this.
