    Post by Vito-UFA August 21st 2011, 11:35 pm

    I tried to use this tutorial on my phpbb2 forum but with no result, tutorial is kinda a simple but for some reason it doesnt work, im doing everything like it says but all i got is blank page.
    Here you can find this Contact Form Tutorial.
    This might be very useful. Does anyone know the reason why its not working for my forum ?

    Code:
    <form action="mailto:vito@ufa-league.net" method="post" enctype="text/plain">

    <legend>Personal info</legend>
    Name:<br>
    <input type="text" name="name">
    <br>
    Mail:<br>
    <input type="text" name="mail">
    <br><br>
    Which is your favorite color?<br>
    I like red<input type="checkbox" name="color" value="Red"><br>
    I like blue<input type="checkbox" name="color" value="Blue"><br>
    I like yellow<input type="checkbox" name="color" value="Yellow"><br>
    I like green<input type="checkbox" name="color" value="Green">
    <br><br>Comments:<br><textarea name="comments" rows="6"
    cols="65"></textarea>
    </form>
    <input type="submit" value="Send">
    Does anyone know what is wrong ? Why I'm not recieving any messages,, simple "send" button doesnt work. Sad

    I tried, and its better but still not like i expected.
    Before, "send" button wasn't active at all right now after pressing this button its redirecting to Office Outlook, does it have to be like that ?
    I thought that after pressing button this will send a message directly from a this form to my mailbox without any help from external programs, i think i have seen something like that in the past on other forummotin forum, any ideas how code like that should look like ?
