Not the questions into sections but the actual
forms.
Likes Im using them as applications on my site
and I would like them divided into sections
Like where at the top it says "title"
Can we label that different and have multiple ones?
I hope Im making sense.

Hey Codername,
is it possible to generate a Threadtitle from one ore more answers so that every thread can easily be found later on? We would use your form for matches between Clans and want a thread for every match but only one form to fill out. Now the thrade is named like the form and thats a little uncomfortable.

Suggestion: It is possible for your next version, to make the thread title same as username.
