Just a question. In my forum I would like that the newly registered members must post their first message in a specific forum. After the first message where they introduces themselves, they can post everywhere.

I was just informed that when users of Firefox try to post - (after they get the warning, select the correct forum) - they can enter in a subject - but not enter any text into the message box.
I have tried it - and under MSIE - it works - under FF - you can't click into the message box at all...???
is wierd what happened, i installed this hack and everything went fine, untill i try to open a new thread in firefox, my editor was not working at all. The problem surprisingly wasnt with IE.
Any suggestion?
Ps: i tried to add the optional to the newthread template, but when i tried to open a new thread i couldnt pass the "Continue >>>" button, it just stuck, i press on it, i press enter, but nothing was working
Members are allowed to post in one forum only and message from the first hack points them there.

Thank you very much Cyb. I've yet installed, and now updated, your "attention zero poster" and now I'm evaluating the other mod. Im my belief you're one of the best VB modder here
users with firefox 2.0 have been saying that they can't post new threads cause all they see is an empty WYSIWYG box.. is that related to this hack?
vb 3.5.7
