Is there a way to make this mod post to 2 areas? We have them fill out a "review" form.. and then it is posting in the area of which they are reviewing... but we also need it to post to a moderator only area so they can get the proper points for filling out the review....

Bananalive i got a template that uses transparent to let the background see trough after upgrading to vb 4.0.2 the background of the forum was not transparent any more. Can you assist to fix this.

Hi op...

Love the mod but I have a few feature requests....

In order of realism...
1. Dates format.... (in the uk it's DD/MM/YY), perhaps a selectable format...
2. Prefix's I would for the user to be able to select a prefix...
3. Redirect to newly created thread...

5. If it's possible I would like my users to enter a postcode the first x digits will form the prefix... and the last x digits the rest of the title...

Hi, I just removed the[indent] tag for the answers as I wanted everything aligned to the left. However I noticed that the indent tag also created space above and below the text and with it gone it is now squishy.

How do I make it so there is a line between each question?

Add \r\n to the end of the answer bbcode

1. is available in latest version, edit appropriate question
3. use the following in : http://www.yoursite.com/forums/showthread.php?p=$newpost[postid]#post$newpost[postid]
5. You would have to use the form hooks to achieve that.

Only by copying the post thread php code to form hook: before submit:

PHP Code:

/*change this*/
$secondforumid = 5;
if ($complete)
    {
        if (!$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'])
