This advanced contact form is easy to use, yet it provides a full array of configuration settings so that you can configure it to suit your preferences.

Its integrated error checking avoids users getting those annoying "go back and try again" screens. The error checking highlights invalid entries and informs the user which are wrong, and why. Only the erroneous entries need be reentered before hitting Send Message again.

The default setting puts the sender's name, email address and subect line in the contact form responses sent to you via email. If a valid email address has been provided by the sender you can reply to it just as with any ordinary email. Or if you prefer, you can configure in static settings for any or all of these fields. You can optionally add a prefix you select such as "[Contact Form]" to all your replies, to facilitate easy sorting by your email client's message filters.

You select whether guests, members or both can use the contact form. Guest use of the contact form (anybody not logged in) follows the same anti-spam policy as configured in your forum's Anti-Spam Verification settings including CAPTCHA and supplemental verification questions.

Nice Mod
But i was creating a Contact Form with Ajax but maybe you can add ajax to this mod , that can be great ^^

I had originally intended to make my contact form AJAX but I decided to evolve my project as far as I could before adding in the AJAX technology. When I had the contact form working as good as it could, when I had added what I figured would be enough options to please everybody's preferences, only then did I look at what it would take to add AJAX.

When I saw how well my contact form works without AJAX, when I considered how much additional work it would be to add AJAX, and when I considered that probably contact forms aren't used that often anyway, so any bandwidth savings would probably result in only slightly improved speeds and any bandwidth costs would be improved by the AJAX only by a negligible amount.

The only reason I could think of to add AJAX would be to make this the Ultimate Contact Form rather than the Advanced Contact Form. In fact I expect to get smart on AJAX pretty soon, and one of the first things I'll do is probably come back and add AJAX to this contact form. And I'll rename it the Ultimate Contact Form for SMF 2.0. :)

So make that definite "maybe" that I'll be adding AJAX sometime soon! :) Probably after I get some more AJAX smarts than I have at present. :)

I dont have any knowledge about ajax , I only integrate an Ajax Contact Formo ^^
