You can actually customize how it looks in the "Form Output Styling" tab when you edit the form. You do not have to keep the default styling there, you can create whatever you want.

Hi
vBulletin 4.2.3 Patch Level 2

While user is entering to the form get message Could not find phrase ''.. and page is displayed
Form after fill is saved.
Where is problem ?

Thanks for help

I am having a problem for the past few weeks.

iOS users report that when filling out the form, the new thread submission results in an error message “Please complete both the subject and message fields”. When clicking back, the "Title" (single line text field) shows what they entered, but the form keeps getting rejected.

I did some testing and narrowed the issue down to use of the " character. For instance, if 20" is entered in the Title field (thread subject), the form gets rejected with the above error message. However, if I replace 20" with 20in, 20 in, 20 inch, etc, the form goes though fine and a new thread is created, as normal.

Any ideas?

User still able to create new thread bypassing the form by doing /newthread.php?do=newthread&f=x

How to prevent this?

There are 3 ways to create a new thread. Did you modify all 3 to use the form vs the standard new thread path?

There is a "New Thread" button at the top of the forum thread list.
There is a "New Thread" button at the bottom of the forum thread list.
There is a "New Thread" link in the "Forum Tools" drop-down.

It has been years since I modified the standard code to create a new thread in select forums by directing the new thread buttons/links to the appropriate form for that forum, so I'd have to do some legwork to find it again. I'm pretty sure it is discussed earlier in this thread.

When i first made the changes to use a form vs the standard thread composition of vBulletin, I overlooked the drop-down "New Thread" link and had a very small number of users that were posting via the standard interface vs the form. I had to do some investigation to figure-out that they were using the drop-down means vs either of the two "New Thread" buttons.
