When I created it two years ago, before I even allowed registration, I was trying to find a forms hack and nobody had one. Now I came across this today and was THRILLED, until I had no access (and the usergroup thing). I know the access thing has to be something simple that I have missed, but I can't figure out WHAT.

Well something must be wrong if you cannot change the usergroups who are allowed to view/use forms. Have you tried installing again with allow overwrite selected.

[Mrs.Winters]

Well, I downloaded the most current one attached in the developers' original post. But I'm going to uninstall, then reinstall and see if that works. I'm wondering if there is some kind of conflict with another mod. I only have 4 other mods installed on my forum (installed them all myself from developer's instructions) and I can't do without any of them.

I am just so frustrated with why I can't get this one mod working. It's the very first mod I searched for way back in 2007 and will make posting things at my site SO MUCH EASIER. I am going to bed and try to figure it out tomorrow.

Thanks for trying to help though. I appreciate it.

How do you have your admin control panel options (vb options) set?

Here's mine:

Thank your for reply. In which area i have to change some settings ? Some versions before it works and i have nothing changed.

Played a bit with "From" and "Reply-To" email headers. Used easy-forms to send different kinds of email.

1. For FAQ. Nice regular expression to check email

/^[\.\-_A-Za-z0-9]+?@[\.\-A-Za-z0-9]+?\.[A-Za-z0-9]{2,6}$/

2. To set correct "from" field, use something like this in before_submit hook:

$from = $thisuser['email'] ? $thisuser['email'] : $qo[16];

if field exist, then result taken from there, if not - from used profile.

NOTE. It's better to set $from = $thisuser['email'] just before hook. That eliminates additional actions, when form available only to requisteres users.

Mine are exactly the same.

[Simon Lloyd]

Dru, if you truly cannot find the setting in VB Options Easyforms for usergroups then perhaps a pM to bananalive as for ver 3.6.x it may mean manual template edits.

[Mrs.Winters]

I can see the settings, but there is no way to possibly change them. They were preset from the moment I accessed that panel and there's no dropdown or scroll "type" deal to make selections for one usergroup, let alone multiples. I'm going to now assume that I can't access the "create/view form" page because there's no way for me to even allow myself (as admin) to access the page. This is enough for me to just finally go ahead and upgrade. I really need this modification.
