Hi there

I need help with the GuideML Forum Box; Essentially, I would like to put a forum box on my page so that users can type in questions, press 'post' and the questions will appear in new threads in the 'Ask h2g2' forum.

My problem is as follows; Here is the code:





Now, the 'forum#' in line 1 is self explanatory, but what do the values for 'thread#' and 'reply#' in lines 2 and three respectively need to be in order to create new threads? Is it possible to create completely new threads from a forum box in a similar way to clicking 'Discuss', or do I have to set up a thread manually to begin with? Any help you are able to offer would be very much appreciated!

Thank you.

Hiya
This is the code to post a new forum to the Ask h2g2 page


<!--
submit=0;
function runSubmit () {
submit+=1;
if(submit>2) {alert("Please do not press this button again"); return (false);}
if(submit>1) {alert("Post submitted! Please be patient....."); return (false);}
return(true);
}
//-->

If you want to add to an existing forum you only need to add the threadid# to the code.

Hope its helps

PS Don't forget you can always do a 'view source' in your browser in a reply screen to check out the appropriate code & numbers.
