@ Laric - I've seen the answer to this on another page. I even provided a link to it on this page (15).

I have a small issue, I was able to export my form from my vb3 install to our new vb4 install. Everything works great except there's an issue with the drop down questions. The box with the options are very narrow and the full text cannot be seen.

This worked great is there a easy way to make it only show certain forums instead of listing them all?

thanks in advance

Thanks for that one. The problem is that I don't want all of the form posted on the second post. I want a subset of the questions/answers in the second post.

For some reason all form results are gone. I get: Error, this form does not have any results stored in the database.
I checked in the database, and yes, the "formresults" table is empty.
I checked moderators log for product "Easy Forms", and it didn't contain any data. So, moderators actions don't get logged?

Might be considered a weird question but...

Is there any way to implement a "time it took to complete" function for a form, that would then be shown at some point on the submission?

Weird... there is not a button to delete all of them, so they must have deleted all of them individually.

No, Easy Forms does not create any logs.

As of v4.1.7 you can change width of dropdown <select>s.

Edit: just realised i have not released v4.1.7 yet... so I will now.

Hi - this is neat. Thanks. Can I use the same form across multiple forums? Or do I have to copy in to each forum. I was hoping a user could select from a predefined list??
