Did you mean user name field should be filled in by a user though they already logged in?

Hi Bluecube,

It works if your user's IP do not change.

lanh, But it dosen't

Instead of...

Code

<?if($_USER$)?>$_USER$<?endif?>

I have this...

Code

<?if($_USER$)?>
<tr id="frM3"><td class="gTableLeft" id="frM4">Username:</td><td class="gTableRight" id="frM5"><input type="text" id="frF1" name="user" placeholder="Choose any Username" class="postUserFl" style="width:100%" size="50" maxlength="30"></td></tr>
<?endif?>

in New message form design customization

I want to store and keep whatever is in input so user can reply or add another post without retyping the username

Note* In Guest mode

Bluecube, from what I can see your best bet is going to be the use of browser cookies. So create a client-side JS script which whenever that field is edited updates a session bound variable which can be recalled on the page load/refresh.

Hope this helps, happy
