Just the php file will be OK.

Is it possible to let the user select the Thread Prefix ID?

No, that is done in the application position settings.

Would be quite handy if the prefix for the thread could be pulled from one of the form's answers.
I will download and play around with the mod, thanks.

edit: could you add the vbeditor as an input option for the answers?

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.

How about information only
How do i get the unregistered usergroup to use this to apply to join a clan ?
I have one forum where the request's will be posted and i have given unregistered users acces to post in the forum. But when they submit the application no post is made ?

IF the unregistered user does not have access to post in the thread/forum the application is going to, the applications are ending up as moderated and must be approved to be visible.

To get around this, set the Poster ID in the application position settings to a user that has permission to post in that thread/forum. Also set 'Require Approval' to 'No' and 'Report in New Thread' to 'Yes'.
