I disabled all my plugins except Doublepost prevention and it is still the same :(
I really need to get to the bottom of this problem, where should I start looking? Templates? Please help me.

Sorry, I do not have a crystal ball, or any other magic method. I cannot tell you why it does that on your site.

I am not asking why, I am asking where should I start looking? Any files?

Thats the point, I have no idea. You have already done pretty much the only thing I can suggest, which is disable everything else, other than that, make sure you are testing it using the default vb4 style.

Problem sorted!
I have spoken to my hosting company and apparently they made some changes on mssql which caused this problem. They changed these settings back and no problem with double posting anymore.
Thanks for your help!

it'd be nice if you share the root cause analysis so that others know what to lookout for in future.

Does a VB 4.0.4 version come?

one of the needed add on. Installed. Thanks.

As it says

Anybody else having a problem with the 4.0.5 release breaking this??

Update.. i just confirmed this is still working on my other forums running 4.0.5 its just my older larger forum rejected this hack.. That board is riddled with ugliness since i down graded to 4.0 Gold earlier this year..

Just installed onto 4.0.5. Works perfectly.

Is anybody having trouble with quick edit after this mod? I installed on 4.0.4pl1
nobody can edit their own post, they only can edit the post on advanced

Yeah I am. I upgraded yesterday and it doesn't seem to work today :(

[s]Im not sure what is happening. but after 4.0.5, i'm having some serious troubles at various places.

when i click reply with quote, it produces [quote=username;1234][/quote]
the text inside is missing. moreover, something is hampering deletion of posts.
right now i got a post in a thread that i can not delete(!!!).

I'm not 100% sure yet if this mod caused this, but this is the only mod I have that directly manipulates posts.

I will investigate more and post again later.[/s]

It seems the bug is on this addon: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=2070964

Working fine on my 4.0.5 Test Forum.

Forgive me if this sounds stupid, but is there a way to remove duplicate posts? I tried this and the other double post mod, but all they do when a duplicate post is created is splice them together. If the second post has the same post time and content I would rather it didn't get merged.

If there isn't a way, can I request this as a feature?

Installed and working 4.0.5

Thanks :)

vbulletin does not allow duplicate posts within a 5 minute time window anyway.

Im having this problem on all my forums since the .5 release. Havent figured it out yet. But i do not believe this mod to be the culprit.. For a temp quick fix i had to disable quick reply altogether

Odd, because I get double posts relatively often. :(

Doesn't work on my 4.0.5 board.

works great on vb 4.0.5

will it work on 4.0.6 ?

No reason it shouldnt.

Working on v4.0.6

nice mod...

Using this mod on 4.0.4 Interesting problem.
The people complaining of double posts before were typically users logging in and posting with their phones, or cell services.

We installed this mod and it stopped that problem, BUT people that typically have never double posted are now double posting all the time.

Any thoughts?

This is a great mod cheers.

One question:

One the merge is done, if this is uninstalled in then future, do the posts return to their original separate thread/ post? Or is it permanent?

Sry wrong Mod

Permanent.

thank you :)

Don't know if this has been mentioned before, if someone posts an article (vBCMS) and tries to post the first comment, the comment will be merged with the initial "forum post" and thus the comment will be "lost".

Therefore, it is a good idea to add the vB comment forum to exclusion list.

This mod is great - thanks.

thanks a ton Paul...works like a charm.
MAI

Works in 4.0.8

It would be nice to have the option of both the time stamp & custom text.

Why would you want to do that ?

I'd like it so I could custom the text with a little message (example below)

"Double post & bump prevention" ---- Flowed by the time stamp

Would make it easier for my "older" or "less tech aware" community members to understand the point behind it (connect the dots sort of speak). ;)

You can simply edit the timestamp phrases to do that. :)

Thank you Paul. Its working great on 4.0.8 :)

Instead of 120 minutes, can I put 30 seconds instead?
