   The _wpnonce is used to determine if there needs to be a confirmation page for the post.. if you remove it you will see one (or atleast you should).

   if you see the delete functionalities closely you will see what i mean.

   but the value="XXXXX" changes every login, what is this value? i want to create a sort of "non-forum-specific" topic submission form (reasons why is too long), but basicly i wnat to substitute the value so it works everytime... how?

   _wpnonce doesnt have anything to do with the functionality.

   you dont need to set the value of the variable. just call bb_nonce_field($x);
   and when you are processing the $_POST call
   bb_check_admin_referer( $x);

   you can put $x as 'create-topic' or 'create-no-forum-specific-topic' or anything else you want.. it will take care of itself

   i think the _wpnonce is a security mechanism that checks for the posting source.

   S010 - i think the _wpnonce is a security mechanism that checks for the posting source.

   That's what I was thinking the other day when looking for an answer to this question, but it wasn't fully clear to me, so I didn't bother responding :D

   ok, so help me:

   i want to make a posting form, all fields except the topic-title are hidden, that posts to forum id #2, only tag is 'aside', and the posted also becomes the post content.

   can this be done?
