sort of fixed the issue , now the problem i got was the warning/infraction/usernote doubled with each post
first post had it once , second post had it twice , 3rd three times etc etc ,

(each post from different users)

Would you mind posting a screenshot of this? :D

i uninstalled your addon

thanks anyway , it looked like a good idea

You couldn't have waited to see if he could help you lol?

nope i couldn't have , because it made the forum look untidy , eg: a thread with 50 pages , it would blow right out due to the multiply factor that was happening ,

the warning/infraction/usernote doubled with each post
first post had it once , second post had it twice , 3rd three times etc etc ... so say by the 50th post , it would've blown right out to a hundred or so warning/infraction/usernote doubled in just one postbit

If you wish to PM login credentials to me for an admin account at your site, I would be glad to try to troubleshoot the issue. Unfortunately, I cannot replicate the issue on my dev site.

So disable it and he'll help you. Mark has been a huge help to me on my forum I'm working on.

I just finished helping another user with a strikingly similar issue with someone else's add-on, and so you might want to see if you have any plugins hooked to one of the postbit locations which use:

If so, try commenting out that line, to read:

This may fix the issue for you. :D

those hooks weren't present in my postbit , never mind thanks anyway

it seemed like a good addon

I would install this: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=265976 then run a search for global $template_hook; using the new search feature in your admincp. Then comment out the line as MarkFL suggested.
