Can someone make a form that people can fill out kind of like this: http://www.risingupsunday.com/pages/risingupsunday/contact.php

but instead of it going to Microsoft Outlook it sends the message as a pm? Or instead of going to Microsoft Outlook it sends an email from there?

Here you go, just put it in a page, or headers/footers w.e works for you

Code: [Select]

<html>
<body>

<form action="mailto:ENTER EMAIL ADDRESS HERE">
First name: 
<br /><input type="text" name="firstname">
<br>
Site Username:
<br /> 
<input type="text" name="SU">
<br />
E-Mail:
<br /> 
<input type="text" name="em">
<br />
Subject:
<br /> 
<input type="text" name="sub">
<br />
Type your question in the following field: 
<textarea rows="10" cols="30">
Type it HERE!
</textarea>
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />

</form>

</body>
</html>

where it says ENTER EMAIL ADDRESS HERE just erase that and put your email, so when suomebody clicks submit, then it will send u an email

This looks very helpful and useful for me..but how do I add it to a custom tab?

You'll need to use the Web Page Editor,

Admin CP > Web Page Editor >

Create a new Web Page, and click the HTML Button, insert the code into the text box that appears, save the Web Page, Now you'll need Custom Tabs.

Admin CP > Manage Styles > Custom Tabs.

Create a new Tab, name it to you're needs, then take the link that the Web Page Editor give you for the Web Page you created and enter it into the URL text box for the Custom Tab.

For further assistance, here are some Guides on Custom Tabs, and the Web Page Editor.

Thanks that helped.
It doesn't work with chrome and on FF, it doesn't send it from the forum, it asks you to open gmail or yahoo mail and then you have to write out the e-mail.Does it send the email from the forum with IE?I never use IE because it freezes my computer..But can someone check if they have IE..Like register on my forum really quick..

They cannot make it go on a different page - you need to create the page in webpage editor then create a tab for it.. there are directions in the thread for doing that

As to it opening in Outlook Express - its going to go by your computers Preference settings and open the email client you use - this one's not setup to do otherwise - it would have to be a totally different code.

No, sorry.. I do not have time to do that. Search thru the Codes Board or the Codes Index (its pinned to the top of the Codes Board) and see if there is another code for this.

The way you are suggesting this to work would not be very user friendly.

You are assuming that your members have outlook setup on their computers.

I for one have Outlokk set up on my PC for business purposes, but before-hand i had no need for it,

The form as it stands i feel is a perfectly fine way of having a member contact you, the outcome is the same, they send... you receive...

InsertName .. this code does not assume people use Outlook Express and is not set up to use it at all. If I use this code my Thunderbird email cllent opens up - because that is the email program I use on my computer. What PKOwned is looking for is a totally different type of contact forum - one that does not use a simple html mailto: link that opens up a message in your email client but instead is an actual contact form where you can fill out the message online then send it to the email address set in the code - Im not sure if there is one listed in the Codes Board or not.
