Did you test this mod with Quick Reply form? Limit doesn't work.

Yep - but left that code out on the release version :-[ - now back in again.

It's really nice but I'd prefer to have option to choose Limit to Post or Topic.

My idea like this:

Limit Topic:
+ Set 0 to no limit or number allow per as below option.
+ Set period of frequently to day/week/month.

Limit Post:
+ Set 0 to no limit or number allow per as below option.
+ Set period of frequently to day/week/month.

If Advertisers go to our forum, he/she is allow to create example only one topic per day (or per week or per month) but still can create a volume of posts (limit as well) by reply to other author or his/her self topic).

Hope you can do this ;)

This mod wasn't designed to operate that way - the clue is in the title (Global  :)).  It's main purpose is to allow guests (or other groups members) to "try out" a forum (or boards) by limiting the number of posts they can make.

Would it be difficult to extend this mod to limit application to a per board basis?  For example, if I wanted the ability to apply this mod to a specific board (or boards) so as to limit the "newbie" traffic.  Like if you are a member of group X, you are limited to 5 posts per day on this given board, but any other board on the site, have at it.  Basically, I just want a little more granular control than a global application.

Anything can be done given enough time  ;)  The raw data isn't available from SMF to do posts per day/ board.  It might be possible to have a different post limit for each board though. 

Apart from a day limit, you can already exclude boards.  In theory, the post limit should probably be an extension of the board/group permission system but that would involve a complete re-write as that wasn't the design intention of the mod.

Well, I do need a mod so I can limit the number of posts that a given user can make per day. I tried the Global Post Limit mod but it doesn't seem to work :( I created a new group "Limited posts per day". I selected all other groups so the limit does not apply to them and assigned one member to the "limited posts per day group". I set the limit to 1 post per day, I logged in as the member with restricted number of posts per day and had no problem making 2 posts :( Can anyone tell me what I did wrong?
Thanks!

Not sure what the problem is as the mod works OK (the post check is a simple one-liner).  It doesn't limit posts per day but limits total posts (global) that a group can make - ever!

I can check it out is you give me temporary admin access to your site?

Aha! I see! Well then that was a misunderstanding on my part. I certainly do not want to limit total posts that a group can make.. Thanks for taking the time to explain!
