TIA

There should be a line break in the posts.

I'll check on it as soon as possible.

Where, exactly? On your site, I only see two paid add-ons for this:
Add-Ons for Advanced Application Forms
- Instant Promote
- Poll & Promote

Which add-on provides the three unlimited features above?

Thanks

The three features you ask about are built in. There's no add-on needed.

I have a filmmaker forum with vbadvanced, its there a way for a specific usergroup to start a thread and have this to apply for an acting job?

If you give that usergroup permission to edit/add application types and positions, yes.

Is there a possible way to either insert your own custom code generator or possibly have a definable pre-set field?

No on the code generator.

And I'm not sure what you mean by a definable pre-set field. The entire application system is based on pre-set fields.

Also other than bug fixes, there will be no further updates to this mod for vB 3.8.x. I suggest updating to vB 4.1.x.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/xxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxx/dab.pdcm.net/forum/application-types.php on line 7

I can confirm this also.
