Hello,

I just installed the plugin and everything, however it does not appear in navbar or in quick navigation either.

When I try to bypass it with just entering the path of the forms.php nothing happens.

What can I have done wrong?

Would still love an anonymous option to be added at some point where certain forms can be submitted anonymously.

There is an addon here that does allow members to post anonymously in select forums. If the form is posted in that select forum then the one that posted the form would in fact post it anonymously...
Not sure if it is available for vb4.... good luck...

Try creating a form at yourforum.com/forums/forms.php?do=newform

Set up the form as attached screenshot

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] = 0;
$vbulletin->userinfo['username'] = 'Guest';

Is there a way to mask the IP as well?

[madness85]

Great mod is it possible to have users ip address as the created thread title? I'm using this for unregistered users & would prefer the title as ip.

Hello,

When I try and do that, it says 404 file not found, even tho I have uploaded the files, and imported the plugins.

[blind-eddie]

Is you forum in a folder named forums or forum..?

Add forms.php?do=newform to the URL where ever your forum is located

Example:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forms.php?do=newform
or
https://vborg.vbsupport.rus/forms.php?do=newform
or
http://www.vbulletin.org/forms.php?do=newform

See what I mean?

Hey banana. My users consistently get an error of "Message is too Short" when they use special characters in any part of their form if there is custom output. If there is no custom output, this error does not exist. Any hint as to what I can do to fix it?
