I know there have been a lot of good discussions regarding FP and the rules some use to decide when a pass is forcing. I can find Frances's post regarding low level FP but not the others, I don't find this software version at all good for managing the threads you are tracking.

It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.

There is not just ONE set of rules for when FP applies.
Good discussion here, shows you that there is a wide range of various "rules" from various experts. http://www.districts...%202009-06.aspx
I like it "on" when we have constructively bid game or have established a GF.

According to my rules, yes, because
1 You have bid game on strength
2. The opponents have bid on over it
To clarify on 1: you have opened the bidding, and then shown high-card values to raise to the 3-level, then accepted a game try.
If, for example, the auction was
1H 2C 3H 3S
4H 4S
then personally I would not play pass as forcing because the opening side have not shown the majority of the strength (I have an agreement that if opener wants to impose a forcing pass, he has to do something other than just bid 4H on this second auction)
