Do you mean when they click link to create new topic? If so, click the link and see what page (in Address Bar) is called.
Clicking 'New Topic' link opens this page: http://forum.snitz.com/forum/post.asp?method=Topic&FORUM_ID=xxx Modify that page (in the Method = Topic section) as you want it.
Or do you want a modal pop-up... nothing on 'post.asp' page??

For excitement on your forum, create a popup that says 'Installing virus now!' <
You are Right.. When they click on New topic, post.asp open and we get a window to enter new post.In that window and textarea I want to put some default code.<
quote:Line 852 " <td bgColor=""" & strPopUpTableColor & """><textarea cols=""" & intCols & """ name=""Message"" rows=""" & intRows & """ wrap=""VIRTUAL"" onselect=""storeCaret(this);"" onclick=""storeCaret(this);"" onkeyup=""storeCaret(this);"" onchange=""storeCaret(this);"">Do not forget to delete this text prior to submitting information." & Trim(CleanCode(TxtMsg)) & "</textarea><br /></td>" & vbNewLine & _
I would guess that standard format tags would work as long as you keep them outside of the <textarea> tags. Stick the <font color=""red""> BETWEEN the first red arrows and close the FONT tag with </font> BETWEEN the second red arrows. See if this works...
It is time for you to experiment. You will learn more by doing... If you cannot (or do not want to) test on your 'live' forum, copy your forum files to a separate computer running IIS (eg, Win 2K) and experiment! If you don't know why double-quotes are needed in the 'font code' above, hands-on practice might help you understand.
Keep copies of the file as you change it -- successive 'versions'. This will protect you in case the page 'blows up'. Simply overwrite file with last known good version/copy.
Good luck... gotta get back to work. Boss has such unrealistic expectations! <
