Looking to start development tomorrow, but before we work on this we are looking to release a smaller plugin to get the feel for XenForo
. Should be soon.

I'm going to bump this as well. I currently run a gaming community and we're on vB4. Some sort of Form would be crucial to my switch over to XF. I currently use a vB mod called "Easy Forms" to get this accomplished.
I run a few different forms with Easy Forms, as I have different "applications" for different positions in the community that people fill out. They fill out the form, and it formats the answers into a nice new post in a forum of my choosing.
Someone make this happen! I'd be happy to toss some money at it as well with Russ.
Me too! Me Too!
I use the vB Easy Forms mods at all my games and desperately need something similar!

PS: Also willing to make a couple of reasonable donations....

Keep us in the loop. If you're able to bring something to release like Easy Forms from vB, I'd happily supply my promised $50 donation.

Sounds great. The more features the better.
As long as it can post the form information/input into a new thread using the user's account that filled out the form, I'm happy. Easy administration of the form questions, and the ability to choose between answer types like text fields, drop down boxes, radio buttons, check marks, etc. are all a plus as well.
Can't wait to check out the teaser!

As jljr222 mentioned, here are some teasers. A few things worth mentioning...
- The settings for each destination type are not set in stone yet. They are subject to change, along with the wording, as development progresses. I may find that I need another setting, or a setting was overkill.
- The variables available to the templates will change.
- Destination types can be added via other plugins. Each destination type will have its own "handler." If that handler is enabled, it will be called when a response is submitted. That handler can then do whatever it needs to do. So, if someone wants to write an add-on for this to write to Twitter, Facebook, a proprietary database, or whatever... that could be done relatively easily.
- Questions will have the same properties as a XenForo option. This is subject to change as well, as it may be overkill.

Looks good. Can you add a verfication part to stop spammers? I always had that problem with the vbulletin version. Last I'm not sure how you plan to display it but if it can be on a sperate page like member list, help, etc that would be awesome

Great idea. I have included a new setting (checkbox) to enable/disable CAPTCHA on the form.

Great look so far, LiquidPro.
My one suggestion would be to add an option to include a link to the form in the main navbar at the top. That way it could be accessed from almost anywhere, instead of the main forum list.
I know it can easily be done by hand, but nice to have the option.

I'm going to put this as a low-priority feature request since it can be done by hand now. Thanks for the suggestion, it is duly noted.Great look so far, LiquidPro.
