Also, can a user reply to his own thread if someone other than him has replied since the last time he did? Like he is answering a question instead of purposely bumping.

Yes. once thread has some repliy (or replies), thread starter has no longer any restrictions & can reply to his own thread. The mod idea was to prevent initial bump to thread no one has replied to.

Great! Thanks. Installed bud.

Can you set what forums you want to use this in or is it just set for every forum?

Please read carefully what IdanB says on the first post:

Thanks, must not have read it right the first time.I installed it but i tried to test it out and does not do anything when i try to bump a thread more then the time i set it for.I have it set for active and 6h.

Note it will only prevent to bump threads that has no reply (new htread).
Should there be any old thread with already more than 1 post in it, it will not prevent it to be bumped.

Dear IdanB,

I was NOT aware of this...! :( :erm:

Is it possible to add any way of preventing ANY kind of 'bump' from the thread's author BEFORE the time that we set on the admincp?

I mean:

- If the thread author wants to reply, he must wait for the 'X' days in order to be able to reply. When that 'X' days has passed, he CAN reply ('bump') the thread, but now, he must wait ANOTHER 'X' days to be able to 'bump' again...


In my case, nobody will reply in those threads, because only the thread Author is able to reply on those sections.

But if I would give permission to anyone reply on the thread, then the author should WAIT the 'X' days to 'bump' the thread again!



Well, the main idea would be to prevent ANY kind of 'bump' from the thread's author outside that 'X' days periods. Is that possible? :confused:
(that is so very much important for me! :eek: )


Thank you so very much!

Problem is if you do that, he wouldnt be able to reply to someone, and i'm not sure this is desired effect.
Assumption is, if more than 1 reply, then some1 answered to him, then i would assume we want to allow thread starter to reply to his own thread.

EDIT: misread your answer.
i'll see what i can do to fix this, so any 2nd attempt to reply again after already replied will require to meet with x time rule again.

Dear IdanB,

Please excuse my poor english (as my main language is portuguese... :rolleyes: )

When I sayd "I was aware of this...!" I meant "I was NOT aware of this...!" (I forget to write the word "NOT")


Ok, so answering you message:
Ok! I believe that it would be simple to do that...

Maybe my case is very different from other people's needs, but what I need is just that:

"any 2nd attempt to reply again after already replied will require to meet with x time rule again."
(and so on... and so on... - until the thread becomes closed or deleted!)
