Demo: http://jobs.gotoguide.org
Login using: uid=gTg and pwd=gotoguide
see the forward link near Report|Quote so on
Known issue: There is no validation on email address, as I am not sure how to do it.
Now uses is_valid-email function from email.php

Re: Forward or "Send to your friend" posts
What do you mean by "Forward"? Is it what's called "Sent to a friend" in some forums?

Re: Forward or "Send to your friend" posts

I opened the forwarding functionality for Guests also.
Restricted guests from editing message and title with readonly tag, tested with IE and mozilla latest versions. hope that will work with older versions also
Re: Forward or "Send to your friend" posts
we must be careful with that kind of functin because it's really appreciated by spamers.
They post their spam on the forum and they send to people who are not their friends...
Ludo,

Whatever we do, there is always a way for spammers.
They cld post spam and then cut and paste the link and send to people who are not their friends.

It looks like guests like this functionality.
My log files shows 1000 forwards for the month of June. more than what I expected. (expectation was max 100 /month).

Installed the mod, works great. How can I enable forwarding for guests too, like you did?

Sorry, I was sleeping for a while.
There is two lines like as follows in the top of forward.php -
if ($pun_user['is_guest'])
message($lang_forward['No permission']);comment out that.
I can send you modified forward.php file [in case you dont want to change the php file urself]
Re: Forward or "Send to your friend" posts
