Hello

In one of my forum posts I placed an e-mail form. I entered the following code directly into the database with phpMyAdmin:

<form name="mail" method="post" action="mail.php">
<table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td class=caption5 width="85"><div>Name :</div></td>
<td class=caption5>
<input type="text" name="name" size="38" class=textForm>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="85" class=caption5><div>E-mail address :</div></td>
<td class=caption5>
<input type="text" name="email" size="38" class=textForm>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="85" class=caption5><div>Message :</div></td>
<td class=caption5>
<textarea name="message" wrap="VIRTUAL" rows=10 cols="38" style="width:450px;" class=textForm></textarea>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="85" class=caption5></td>
<td class=caption5>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" class=inputButton>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

It is shown correctly on the forum. But when you fill out the form and click the Submit button, mail.php doesn't load (although it's uploaded) and instead the homepage of the forum loads. Changing method="post" into method="get" does not resolve the problem.

The script worked well on my old board. What could be the problem? I'm using 2.0 Final now.

I think, it's because it will be "form inside a form", which will not work. Look in templates/main_posts.html and you discover that we have this tag:

<form action="https://www.minibb.com/forums/{$indexphp}" method="post" class="formStyle" id="allMsgs">

....

</form>

It is used for defining the form of message checkboxes, if you are using $enableGroupMsgDelete option enabled. I think, you can eliminate these tags, if not.

Or - try to specify "id" for your form, than instead of "Submit" button, use JavaScript handler, which will submit this form. But I don't know will it really work.

Pfff... tried everything but it doesn't work.
I'll remove the e-mail form from the board. After all it's not that important.

I think you need just to eliminate our form tags, if you are not using group deletion... Else form inside a form most likely won't work.
