Is it possible to allow for the formidable pro form to let the user upload images to the media library instead of hosting them through image shack?
I would like my clients to be able to submit posts and add images in the rich text field using the wordpress native upload and media library so all images are hosted locally and inserted very much like creating a post from the dashboard.
I would also like to be able to allow the users created pages to automatically Have a menu item created in the main menu is that possible?

uploading images through a rich text field is not supported. You can add a file upload field to your form that will allow users to upload files to be hosted locally.
Creating a menu item in the main menu is possible, but this isn't a Formidable Pro topic...This is a WordPress option. In the "Menus" page, you can select to automatically add top-level pages to a navigation menu.

Alright it adds the menu item just fine, My only issue now is if the user Deletes the page they created the menu item stays in the navigation but leads to a page not found (obviously since I just deleted the page) how would I go about setting it up so the menu item is deleted when the page is deleted?
I am also having the issue of the Image shack upload not working i receive the error i posted in the attachment

The menus are not controlled by Formidable. I'm guessing you have a caching plugin installed that is causing a lag between deleting pages and the nav changing.
For the imageshack issue, it looks like they now require an API key for uploading images, so quite a few changes are needed.

We'll look into this for the next release, but for now it may be better to use the TinyMCE editor so that option won't be available to your users.

Thought you might like to know:
I managed to fix the image shack upload issue with very little effort by going here: http://nicedit.com/download.php and clicking the optional plugin for nicUpload. I then replaced your nicEdit.js with the new one downloaded (Had to change niceEdit.js to -> nicedit.js to match the js file in formidable) and replaced the image in the formidable images folder niceEditIcons.gif
However the icons that come with the new version i downloaded was named "nicEditorIcons.gif" so i had to rename it first. It looks like nicEdit changed over to another image host and it works fine.

Thanks so much for the tip! We'll test a little more and include it in the next release. Thanks again!

No worries! Hope it helps, seems like a simple enough transition.
