Hi all!
I recently stumbled upon an outdated vB3 mod that allows users to fork a thread... it obviously doesn't work on vB4 and I don't know it enough to change it by myself.
All what I need is:
1) A button on every postbit footer that allows users to fork a thread.
2) After clicking it the user is redirected to a page similar to New Reply one with the forked post bit on the top and a reply form on the bottom. He must also reply before forking.
3) When the fork is done, the forked post becomes a new thread containing also the user reply.

Can you help me guys? :(

Are you talking about this mod: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=94420 ?

That seems like it shouldn't be too much of a problem (for someone), it just quotes the post you're forking from and inserts a link to the previous thread, so it just involves inserting some text in the reply box of the newthread page.

Edit: Actually, that mod linked above only needed a few changes to the parts inserted in the template - the product xml file seems to work fine as is. I posted changes that should work in the mod thread.

Ok it works, but it's not what I was expecting... it just makes a new thread with the forked post quoted.
