ok I've attached a pic to make things easier. How do I edit the indicated field? Do you use numerical numbers? written text? etc....

@nathan:

use:
@Froggy: well you can enter any text/value in there, but the field is trimed so spaces or new line chars don'T work...

Xenon

Honestly all I want to do is put spaces in between the posts when they are merged. My problem is when they get merged, they get crammed right together so you have a hard time reading it. Then you have to manually edit the post to correct it. oh and I re-uploaded the product and still there is no spacing in between the merged posts.

Thanks Xenon working great now

Thank you for your help :D

@Nathan: you're welcome

@Froggy: well the two spaces are entered automatically no matter about what you enter into the field, so if they are not entered into your posts, than it's another problem, which i don't really know how to fix....

you can see the default version here on vb.org which is working perfectly...

maybe another plugin or code hack is on a conflict here...

In the admincontrolpanel >> vBulletin Options >> Doublepost Preventing

you'll find
Post Separator
Enter any message you want to appear between two posts.

in that box you can put

two lines will appear between posts

or enter some text saying like "post below was merged with post above"

you can even add an image by putting
In the box

Well I must have a problem because if I put your <hr> <hr> code this is the result.

post1<hr> <hr>post2

same if I put your image code it just shows up as

post1<br> <img src="http://www.domainlink.com/imagename.gif"> <br>post2 (of course I edited the filepath though).

I can't for the life of me get 2 spaces in between posts. I wonder would there be some way to create a BB code for blank spaces? then I could perhaps use that? I dunno I'm trying anything at this point.

and mine is located in vbulletin options >> message posting and editing options>

I assume you meant the same, but thought I would check incase the plugin isn't installing properly. I'm going to try uninstalling this time and then re-installing.

oh I see what happened......hrm weird. Could I have 2 different plugins installed? Cause I uninstalled the plugin and it was gone from vbulletin options >> message posting and editing options

however it was still there....now I find it under vbulletin options >> prevent doubleposting.

I use your code and ok it works now, but it looks like

post1
<hr> <hr>
post2

Is there anything I can enter to simply get blank lines?

ahh I got it finally.....I just simply hit the enter key a few times and voila I got blank lines in between posts....so it's

post1

post2

I want to exclude 4 forums and exempt Mods,S-Mods and Admins. I just wanted to confirm this code was right. It seems to work but just double checking. Great job getting this to be a plug in. :)

EDIT: On second thought, I also want to exempt people who can moderate. Would that be?
