Well that did it!

Thank you Xenon and MarcoH64 for your hack and excellent support!
I managed to get this thing tuned just the way I hoped and now it looks and performs
perfectly.

:thumbsup:

Good work and keep up the quality releases. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.
and only remind me why I paid for vBulletin over the competition.

:)

we're glad you like it :)

And WE are glad you liked it too :D

Thanks guys! This is definitely one of those rare hacks that is so useful that it should be a function that comes out-of-the-box with vBulletin. :cool:

I found a bug!

If you have a smilie limit turned on, say 5. If someone's previous post has 5 smilies already, it won't merge their next one. :(

Can somebody code a fix for this? It's annoying because my members have found that this is a convenient way to bump their threads. :(

well, actually that's not a bug but a bugfix.

i have had to add that, as if i wouldn't do so, the merge would produce an invalid post, which means, if they edit the post afterwards, without changing something, just edit-submit it would produce a too many images error.

you should increase the smilielimit ;)

LOL! I have the smilie limit set at 5.. do you think that is not enough??

(I actually upped this limit before until a recent member put 40 in a row. :()

I guess I can't win no matter how hard I try lol!

5 is very low, i know from other boards, there are members posting long texts and are complaining, because 20 smilies limit is enabled (and it's not 20 in a row) ^^

but nope, you cannot win, as this is no bug ^^

hi there
i installed that hack on my board but it seems that nothing works. i altered the file as i should but preventing is enabled. there are no error messages or something the file works as before. any ideas?

nope, i assume you made a mistake during the install process.

i did not get a similar report yet.

I heard this does something bad to the search engine in vBulletin - something about psots not being indexed properly? Is this correct?

nope, that's an incorrect information you have.

The search engine problem on vb.org lately have a totally other reason.

installed and love it. thank you.

one question - would it be possible to exclude certain usergroups from following the auto-merge rule (so certain usergroups can make multiple posts in a row)?

thanks again!

super hack.. and thanks marco for that time tip ;)

yep, just add the to the condition
that part:

somehow the file version was at 3.0.1.. fixed that. just wanted to let you know. thanks for the hack. :squareeyed:

/me installs!

:surprised: i'm not a good installer. I can't install this. Anyone wanna help me out just contact me on MSN at alexanderjm316@hotmail.com or AIM me at evilakuma2006

Will this work on 3.0.3?

yes!

perfect... thanks xenon!

Will it work on 3.0.7?

yes!

best example is vb.org ;)

Wow, that's great, fast, and easy. Thanks! install

What change do I need to make to prevent the first post as being quoted in the merged post?

erm?

my hacks doesn't autoquote the first post.

Working great, thank you..

/me clicks install

Excellent hack, thanks very much :)

Yep, love it!

thanks man.

Any plans for 3.5 Xenon? :speechless:

yep :)

as said we need it for vb.org as well :)

Could you upgrade it to 3.5 RC1 please??

Great hack, is there any way you could make it effect all threads in JUST one forum? Also be able to block the person from posting a second time at all. So if the person EVER replied to the thread, they could NOT post again. I need it so on certain forums you can only reply to every thread one time. That's not really the point to this hack, but since its similar I think you could easily make that. If you could I would be VERY greatful. If thats worded all wrong its because ive been up like 30 hours messing with this lovely forum, lol. Thanks man.

Sweet mod, thanks a lot!

Xenon, are you planning to upgrade this hack for 3.5?

i hope so cause this is very usefull

anybody getting this out for 3.5?

Do you guys also read sometimes (instead of just posting)?
