[DECLINED] merged posts should bump
 

merge posts should bump the thread :happysad:

Thats the shte point of the hack to keep people from needlessly bumping threads :)

i thought it was to stop double posts considering that's what the hacks called ;)

it's designed to prevent doubleposts, but on vb.org it's used to prevent bumpings in less then 24h, as way to much users have ignored that rule in the past..

couldn't it be done on a per-forum basis, i mean it's one thing bumping in the requests forum but it's a whole other in the php forum where you've just helped out in a few threads and so your thread has fallen down.

maybe you cuold do it in a way where it adds a minute to the posttime that way it keeps it a new topic without bumping it up on the threadlist

/me was just spouting ideas.

it is already on a per forum base ^^

it doesn't merge on release forums, but as php forums are mostly requests as well, i won't change that setting.

can it be changed to to 12 hours for the coding forum, it's not like i'm about to say to someone can you make me a hack, i'm merely either asking why don't this work or can someone explain this to me, it's killing me i can't bump a topic just to get a little help changes are i've got one line in the code wrong and due to that i have to wait 24 hours to progress in my script, back before the double posting was installed i used to delete the proceeding bump in order to bump it up, theirs a huge difference from saying can you do this for me, and can you help me/show me/teach me how to do this so i don't have to ask you again next time :(

its a good idea guys, but 24hrs seems a little long...

has there been that big a problem with bumping of threads?

@Sooner: yep, it gots really annoying...

@sabre: sorry, it would become to cluttered and confusing if there is a different rule for each forum.
On vb.org we have the 24h for next bump rule, and it will stay so.

ok, suppose if it got bad, something would have to be done. No prob.. we will adjust..

thx
