Is this an update, or were you just telling us your progress?

Cheers

PS: Anyone notice funny characters come up in the VB forums when you post an image in the WP entry? e.g maxps3.com


Thanks!

Does not create thread (vb_threadid = NULL)
Write entry > Click 'Save and continue editing' button
Write entry > Click 'Save' button

Creates thread
Write entry > Click 'Publish' button
Write entry > Click 'Save and continue editing' button > Click 'Publish' button
Write entry > Click 'Save and continue editing' button > Select 'Publish' entry status > Click 'Save and continue editing' button

Each of the above tests were done on a fresh entry, and just to confirm that no duplicate threads can be created by the same blog entry, I did a rather important check:

Updates thread
Edit entry > Select 'Draft' entry status > Click 'Save and continue editing' button > Select 'Publish' entry status > Click 'Save and continue editing' button

Along the way, I removed some parts of the queries which made the first post jump to its chronological place in the thread whenever the blog entry is edited. I've totally ignored the 'Private' post status so far; I hope it doesn't need a whole new bunch of queries.
