Quick question. I used the mod and when the thread got created in the admin section it automatically subscribed me to the thread. Any way to stop auto subscribing users to that thread I mean its in a forum they don't have access to. So to them it may seem broken.

Not that I know of as that gets based off of their profile options via the usercp on their thread subscription options

Hi,

I applied the mod to my forums but the form does not show.

If the user has not enough post, i see the message he can't apply
If i disable the tool so we don't hire new people, i see the message fine
If i enable hiring, the form is "not" loaded...

What could cause this? See here... (i enabled guest application with 0 posts)

I'm getting "Sorry, you do not have enough posts to apply"

[Hi-Jack]

Sorry, i keep trying to install it again but it does not help :-)
Now shoul dbe a good time to check... thx

As said, you can see the messages when disabled or not enough post, but you never see the forum... (using 3.8.4 with vbadvanced)

Please use Deejie / Pikachu2002 as login, it's a test account

[Hi-Jack]

Never mind, i fixed it. It was due to integration of the left side bar that the form did not work anymore... Now it is fixed... enjoy

[HMBeaty]

Ok, good to know you got it working Thanks

Create a thread
Would you like to create a new thread when an application is submitted?

This is set to Yes

Forum ID to create new threads in
Enter your Forum ID number here for the forum that you would like to create a new thread in when a new staff application has been submitted

I entered the the ID of an existing forum.



There is nothing to be moderated in ACP > Moderation > Moderate Threads




When an application is submitted, I do receive the email notification.


So why doesn't a new thread get created?
