What does 'Marking As Installed' do ?

* It helps you to stay on top of updates - members who have installed modifications will be notified whenever new updates are available.

* For security issues - vbulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to their attention.

* Marking a modification as installed also helps me know how many people are using my work, giving me extra incentive to provide more features and new modifications.

I appreciate the support!

In ACP->Settings->Options->Message Posting and Editing Options->Automatically Quote Post / Thread Title with this description:

"Setting this to 'Yes' will automatically fill the title field of new posts with either the thread or the parent post title, prefixed by 'Re: '.

The user may specify their own title if they want to do so."

I'm using setting No. And unless user specifically sets some post title (which sometimes is very useful and I use it for SEO purposes, to insert additional keywords to certain posts and/or threads), there's no post title.

Isn't this better solution? It really can have SEO benefits (I tested it, it works).

Just to mention...

[ozzy47]

So it don't show it in the first post either?

Also that setting is global, this way you can choose which forums this affects.

[Alan_SP]

First post's title could have different words from thread title, but I'm more worried about other posts, where I could gain SEO important keywords.

Anyway, as always, if someone likes it and uses your mod, great. :up:

[ozzy47]

Absolutely, this may not be for everyone, but hopefully some find it useful. As always your input is appreciated. :)

Simple yes, but some will definitely find it handy. Thanks @Ozzy47! :)

[mitch84]

hi, can you add option for usergroups? perhaps who can see the titles?

[ozzy47]

Yeah that could be a possibility.

[mitch84]

again a question, it's hidden only in formdisplay or everywhere? thx

[ozzy47]

It's for showthread.

[mitch84]

ok, thx

[tini_lam]

when I post Quick Edit, click save button then dialing the post dont appear. I have to F5 to see it. i use vbb 4.2.3 beta

I know this is a bug

[ozzy47]

So it you reply to a thread, via the quick reply, the post don't show up unless you hard refresh the page?

[tini_lam]

I quick edit (Edit Post ) any a post. after I click button Save, then the post not show.

[ozzy47]

I'll have to see if I can replicate that tomorrow.

[ozzy47]

OK I see it happening, just not quite sure how to fix it yet.

[ozzy47]

v1.2.0 Released! :)
- Fixed a bug, that when you edited a post, you would need to refresh the page for it to show up.
- Added ability to select which usergroups this mod affects.

[tini_lam]

1.2.0 not work in vbb 4.2.3 beta 1.

[ozzy47]

Can you be a bit more specific than not work?

[Justinphx]

Thanks Oz. What I did is set it where user group guest/unregistered still see the title so search bots will get the key words. Members have no reason to see the subject line in every post.

[ozzy47]

Glad you like it, and thanks for marking as installed. :)

[mitch84]

again a question, it's hidden only in formdisplay or everywhere? thx

It's for showthread.
can you extend that to forumdisplay & search? thx

[ozzy47]

Not sure, I can look into it during the next feature update to the mod.

[mitch84]

ok, thx
