I have a site where i post articles outside of WWF.
 
I would like a funktion to make a link like
 
'Open a discussion in our forum based on this article'
 
 
You should then get to a 'new post' page with the subject already filled, being the article subject. Is this possible in WWF?

I don't think so, and even more so if users need to register on a forum before they can post. The easiest way I could see around this (but others more experienced than myself might have an answer) would be to start create a New Category in your admin area, add a forum and perhaps call it Article Feedback, and then depending on what you wanted to do, allow that forum to let un-registered users post topics, and replies

Then point your links to that particular forum only

I'd still only want registered users to be allowed to post..

I a non-registered user clicks the link the user would be transfered to the login page as per default on the rest of wwf.

So the only option I need is a '&Subject=' in the URL to prefill the subject field.

It should be fair simple by editing the includes/message_form_inc.asp file.

However where it gets complicated is if the members is not logged in and they have to fill in the login form it would then loose the subject prefix, so to get it perfect maybe a little harder.
