Thanks for this. As far as I can tell, it works if you enable the (new in 2.2.9) admin option that requires users to confirm thread creation, but not if everything is fully automatic. The bug has been there from alpha-1. Will investgate and fix.

Edited.

If you want, you can patch this bug by editing the links_addnewlink template. Find the lines:

<else />
<tr style="display:none;">
	<td class="alt1" colspan="2">
	<input type="hidden" name="linkautocreate" value="0" />
	</td>
</tr>
</if>

and replace by

<else />
<tr style="display:none;">
	<td class="alt1" colspan="2">
	<input type="hidden" name="linkautocreate" value="1" />
	</td>
</tr>
</if>

i.e. change the 0 to 1

Be careful if you make this change - if I make further changes to the template before the final version of 2.2.9, vb will not warn you about the need to revert the template.
