Quick Thread hack (like quick reply, on forumdisplay!)

This hack is like the quick reply hack but on forumdisplay, so when viewing a forum, if the user has proper permissions to make a new thread then this quick thread box will show up for them.

Also view the screenshot to see how it looks

Features

• Shows the user's signature if they have one!
• subscribes to the thread according to what the user specified in their user options!

Additions

• make it look better
• able to collapse the table
• better looking table (if the mod above does not work)

hey Gary, there's a small problem... whenever we use the Quick Thread, it automatically adds that thread to the subscribed threads list for the user who created it..... any way to stop this?

MGM out

Add this before </form>:

<input type="hidden" name="emailupdate" value="9999" />

Very nice Hack Gary! Installed with no problems. Thanks!

One question. Is there a way to get the signature to work when posting with the quick thread box?

I have updated this hack! HUGE changes made, including visual enhancements (text changes, made things look better) and also I added support for signatures and email updates / notifications, depending on what the user's options are in his user cp!
