I really like this, it makes something that I was trying to do very convenient.
HOWEVER, I am not a php genius (I use python a lot) so when you say "DO NOT USE QUOTATION MARKS AS IT WILL CAUSE A PARSE ERROR" that is not very descriptive. I thought that meant DO not use any quotation marks at all, when in reality it means only use them once. I finally saw SULLY02's post which explained this a little better.

Version 3.4: (04/05/2006)
It's hard to upgrade if you made lots of template changes. There are many changes to the template do to the preview feature.

I'm going to be using this form for Guild Applications, I have a couple of questions.
New applicants won't be registered on the site so can I remove the section that takes the vB username? Secondly, the editor doesn't appear for anyone that isn't logged in, any ideas why? When I test the form as a logged in user the editor works fine, as a guest you just get a text input box. EDIT: One last thing (honest) when I tried to add 8 choices to the drop down menu question, I only got the first 3 appear (I'm a real newbie to all this) did I do something wrong with the variables?

VB by default doesn't allow unregistered users to use the editor. They just see a plain box.

New to all things vB and have a very demanding WoW Guild that want lots from their site, so steep learning curve. After applications it's time to tackle some form of DKP system, just wish someone would integrate eqDKP and vB.

This is a great hack! I would like to know if anyone seen a hack to allows you to update the thread through the form.
This hack is the first step: To submit the thread through form. Can it be done that you go to the thread and the user by clicking "edit" will get the same form that he/she submitted before with already filled up fields from the thread? Then the user edits the test in the form and saves this into the thread. Cheers!

yeah i liked this too. installed.
one big suggestion [and i've seen that it's been covered here in support, buuuut] - put the template & plugin edits required for field and option changes in the readme - it's quite sparse and doesn't cover nearly what it should. it took me a couple of hours to find all the variables that needed changing when i edited input fields/questions. even the plugin doesn't explain it very well [per instructions]. it would just be easier on everybody if everything needed to customize this was annotated in the package.  THANKS!

Hmm, when I click preview it does show me at the top, but all the stuff I entered in the form is gone. I would have to retype it all? What did I do wrong?

hmm, ok I figured out why the fields didnt stay. I see you added a value= in the boxes within the template. Damn that was a pain to upgrade but its done and working perfect. Thank ya very much for that addition.

Would you mind giving me an example of the impact for upgrading. I don't want to cause any downtime for my primary form when I upgrade. I'm thinking it might be best to install this as a "new" hook and not overwrite and so a custom "answer" template can be created in parallel without causing disruption? Also is it only the answer template that needs "lots of changes" or also the mainhook for the form.
