But if you want to change it for whatever reason, then yes, you can find it in your php.ini file.

I'm looking to install this for a reason that's a bit different. I've got incoming mails that are to be replies to existing topics. So what I'm thinking is actually using this hack along with a server that has a permanent login under the account that has the proxy option. Then when it gets the message it would fill out the form and use it to post. I could go direct to the database, but we don't get tons of these, and this would allow me to not have to worry about all the database updates, forum subscriptions, etc. as they'd follow all the posting rules.
Does this make sense? Any major issue you see with this logic? No members have liked this post.

I think it wouold be easier to tell a server to write to the database, then to tell it how to fill a form and select from a dropdown box.

Yes, that's the way I'd normally go. I just have to figure out all the tables it has to hit and particularly for the subscriptions how it needs to parse the data and load the tables to send out the subscription messages. The form isn't very hard (done a lot of it) so I think I'll try to make sense of the database entries created and then if I still can't get it then I may go with the proxy form.

Thanks. I found the one about threads and going to see if I can find one about building replies (since all the posts right now will actually be replies rather than new threads).

Great Hack, thanks.
In response to your post #20 - A. A forum setting (ie. every usergroup can post in that forum using 1 of the defined users). I just need one forum where people can post as Anonymous if they want to, so no fancy stuff. I wouldn't mind option B tho, but needed at the moment is only A. Thanks and kudos again for your work.

I have a problem with my forum.
This hack works properly with <<new thread>>, but it doesn't work with <<reply>>. Any body has this problem ? I installed ver.1.0.0.1 No members have liked this post.

The only reason i can think of is that you have a modified 'newreply' template, and that the automatic template edits can not be made. Try making the edit to this template manually, as instructed in the install.txt
PS It will only work in Advanced mode, not in quick reply.

if you can make this apply to specific forums, it'd be mod of the month for sure. in reply to your question:
A. A forum setting (ie. every usergroup can post in that forum using 1 of the defined users). this all that is needed to make this also work as an anonymous forum hack. looking forward to install this some day. No members have liked this post.
