No - 5 stars not 1 star! I hit the wrong button...

Hopefully someone will wander along and fix it for me.

In the meantime, er, welcome to my lastest hack :D

i hope that open a new window when alerted ?!

you forgot to drop your site url in the script!

hah ha... you've done that you too.. lol :D

badly nobody will edit .. lol

Yeah, it's a chicken and egg thing. You have to post to get the url to the threads, and you need the url to the thread to post. I usually just do a quick update of the hack within a few minutes of posting here, once I know the topic id.

No, it looks like any other vb error message. However, nothing is lost. When you hit 'review' it takes you back to your post with everything still there.

i meant this:... use $vbulletin->options[bburl]

Oh, crap

I hate bugs. Hold on, quick fix.

It worked on my board :D

Put a new xml file up. That should fix her up. I need more sleep lol :)

Wow, what a great hack, me installing now :) thanks!!

Very nice hambil! Thanks. :)

Rated 5 stars... We'll get you there eventually!

That need to be quoted for the posterity... :D :D :D

Installed and working!

Didnt work for me, I posted using IE and posted under another name using FF and did not get a warning!!

Don't use quick reply. By it's very nature quick reply doesn't bother checking.

Damn, that will explain that then pmsl...... cheers m8 :)

ok works now using full reply sort of lol

It does not show that last post it shows the penultimate post!!!! see image last post and image not last post
please see the image as the error message as some code thats out of place :(

I don't understand - sorry. It looks like you edited the template or the phrase, and that's where the odd characters are coming from on the warning message.

As for the last post/not last post, could you explain better, please?

How many queries if any does this add? Does it take up much resources? Looks very nice and extremely useful

""""Clicks Install until answered"""""

Thanks

yeah i always remember those threads were you post, and then you edit saying, damn, you beat me to it. but that is all fun in the community, trying to beat someone to the thread, i think if i installed this, it would kind of take away that atmosphere. but either way, great work on creating this, im sure it will be very useful for lots of boards.

You are brilliant *installed*

I did that too...sorry Hambil :(

Damn you Thorn in my Back!!! :D I'll accept a MOTM nomination in repayment :p

I think your hack contains XSS issue, you use $_REQUEST in the HTML without any check, this opens a security hole.

I change the code to run $_REQUEST['t'] through the cleanup process. Other than that no security issue should exist, since I'm only reloading request and post information, not using it in anyway.

i asked for this mod a week or two ago and now its here. Ofcourse i will nominate it ;) and ofcourse the five stars.
I hope in the future it will also work with quick reply, but that isnt a must. I am glad with this one!

Good work!

Click install

I only added to the phrase nothing that could have added that extra code, i didnt touch any template!?

It warned me about the last post being made, but when i went to review it it was not the last post it was the post before the last post!

It checks to see if any posts have been made since you started your post. There could be more than one.

I might consider complicating the query a bit, and providing some varied phrasing. e.g. "A new reply" and "x new replies".

I'll look into the quick reply at the same time. If I do it, I'll make it off by default and admin settable. I can speak only for myself but if I'm using quick reply I don't want a bunch of checks and stuff slowing me down and asking me questions. That's why I using quick reply ;)

Damn! You stole my idea :(, I was in the process of making this. Oh well. But I have a solution to make it work with quick reply :).

It's not an issue of making it work with quickreply. I chose not to. However, I'll probably make it optional in the next release.

Happily done and done :D

I'm also looking forward to the quick reply add-on to this....I know more of my users use it than the standard reply :)

Everything fine with IE but warning appear for all reply in firefox.

Installed and you have 5 stars ;)
Thanks!

Very nice share HAMBIL = Thanx ;)

Jacquii.

/bookmarks

I'll install when it supports Quick Reply.

Thanks for sharing this great add-on!

Since it has been heavily requested, I'll be releasing an update to this soon that supports quick reply. This will require a much more complex (but ultimately more intuitive) method for displaying the warning, due to the AJAX nature of quick reply. Hopefully the upgrade will be ready within the next day or two.

Use the $error[] array.

99% of my users depend on quick reply ;)

Great news :)

I would install this but I think it would be annoying since it doesn't open into a new window, if your browsing new posts or posting it will always change the screen your on to notify you?

Hmm, and yeah once its supported in Quick reply I might consider this.
