Also you should have a note someone on the submit form page that anything with a star is required.

Also is it possible to parse bbcode in the description section.

Also a confirmation on the delete option would be good.

Another thing is the * should follow the : in the question.

Also is it possible to get attachment support?

Suggestion: be able to set which response would become the title of the thread.

Ex: I have a "Suggestion Title" box for people to self-title their suggestions. I would like the information in this box to become the title of the thread.

I changed the text 'Error' and am looking into the in_array function problem. What question types have you included in the form?

I've changed the 'Error' display in the navbar on form submit and fixed the redirect of deleting a question

What have you got in the form?

Try upgrading to v1.2. Edit the question with the addition characters at the end.

(If you have do not mind loosing your forms just upgrade to v1.2 then uninstall product and then install v1.2.)
