Can I change the name from "Forms" to "Surveys" somehow?

Since I'd like to use it as a survey for a debate board (where members vote on things about the debate thread)...can I do the following w/ it? And if so, how?

1) Display the survey at the top of the thread it refers to for members to take?
2) Display the survey results at the top of the thread after the member has taken the survey?

This is what would really make this mod ideal (at least for our community). Having to go out of the thread to take a survey and view results makes it seem like it is apart from the thread. And I'm tryuing to have this be as integrated as possible.

Strange. The first time I made a test form, the title was bold, centered and size 5. Now when I go back to it, it is just plain. What changed? The BB code is still in "Form Output Top BB code" and I re-saved that section. BB codes ARE working, if I enter them directly in the title they work, but that screws up the breadcrumbs. Just tried in default style-same thing.

Also interesting, while the title is plain, the description is bolded.

Also, what is the best way to enter a block of text?

[sulasno]

can this mod do this ?

Admin or members of a private forum creates a form;

Members fill in the form and it gets posted to a private forum; (admin have no access to the private forum)

Are you using the custom output now?

You could use radio buttons questions

And select form action 'save to database'

Then view 'Form Results as Poll'

But it's not possible to embed it in top of thread.

Thanks, appreciated .

This is going to be added in v4.1.9

Firstly, great product, thanks

However, I'm getting the following error which I think is conflicting withCyb - Advanced Permissions Based on Post Count

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in [path]\includes\class_bootstrap.php(1280) : eval()'d code on line 68

Is there a workaround so that I can run both products?

Great mod, our community has a great amount of uses for this.

I have one question, excuse me if it seems trivial;
How do I skip a question depending on the previous questions answer? For example,
Q#3. Do you own a microphone? If the answer is "yes" then skip to question #5. If the answer is "no" then on to question #4.
Q#4. When do you plan on purchasing a microphone?

Thank you in advance.

Form failed to submit. The following error(s) occured:
The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 10 characters.

The above is all I get when I try to post a form. All field minimums are set to zero.
