Ok, try this.
Code changes will be in post_info.asp
find this code:
if Request.Form("Method_Type") = "Topic" then
'## Forum_SQL
strSql = "SELECT MEMBER_ID, M_LEVEL, M_EMAIL, "&Strdbntsqlname
change the last line so it looks like this:
strSql = "SELECT MEMBER_ID, M_LEVEL, M_EMAIL, M_POSTS, " & strDBNTSQLName
Then just before this code (which is 10 - 20 lines down from the above code):
txtMessage = ChkString(Request.Form("Message"),"message")
txtSubject = ChkString(Request.Form("Subject"),"SQLString")
add this code:
if rs("M_POSTS") < 3 then
Go_Result "You must post at least 2 Replies before you can post a Topic.", 0
end if
