Nice, I've always went in and did an edit to make Move thread-leave no redirect the default option. This is why everytime there's a new vb version I look for your mods first.

Working great here. Unfortunately, I wanted it for disabling all auto-parsing of links...which it does unless somebody checks the box manually. We don't allow live external links and just wanted to avoid any accidental live links. This gets us most of the way there by having the box unchecked by default. But, when somebody edits a post without using 'advanced edit' and the auto-parsing box isn't there, vb parses the links. But, I know that the plug isn't supposed to take care of this, so I still gave it a 5. And, it's still useful for the other form options. Thanks!

Great MOD!

In you next update, Can you add Automatically subscribed to Social group when joined? That should have been a given with vb. Defeats the purpose of social groups the way it is now.

Yhanks

How about making the "Show your Signature" checkbox on all posting mechanisms be unchecked by default rather than checked by default.

That's always annoyed me and in the past I have had to do template changes to make the change which blows
