New Posting Features - Doublepost Prevention

As of 24 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.

This is an updated version of the popular modification, previously released by Xenon. It is released with his kind permission.

Basically, if member posts in a thread where they were the previous last poster, then if the conditions are met, their new post will be auto-merged into the previous post instead of creating a new "double" post.

A number of options are provided ;

Time Limit - if more than xxx minutes have passed since the last post, no merge is done.

Timestamp Spacer - if enabled, a timestamped spacer is added between the old post text and the new post text.

Post Timestamp Update - if enabled the newly merged post will have its post time updated to the new time, otherwise it retains the time of the original post.

Spacer Colour - allows you to set the colour of the spacer between merged posts.

Usergroup exceptions - Allows you to exempt certain usergroups from the doublepost merges.

Forum exceptions - Allows you to exempt certain forums form the doublepost merges.

All settings are located in vBulletin Options > Doublepost Prevention.


To install just unzip the XML and import into vB using the ACP Product Manager.

yes , go admin phrases, and search in product doublepost prevention : "Previous post", and edit.

No, goto the mods options and turn off the timestamp separator.

It is working perfect when I double post, but when other people double post it is not merging their posts. I have it set as default. both settings 0 and 0

Is there any chance of this working for 3.7?

The following dependencies were not met:

1. This product is not compatible with version 3.7.5 of vBulletin. (Compatible starting with 3.8.0 / Incompatible with 3.8.99 and greater)

Well, it works, but it ++++s up the edit box something awful... And when I de-install it, it won't reset. Plus, I need to save the CSS again before it displays right.
And it does the same to the quick reply.
And even after I remove the extra template added.

The editor works correctly when I turn off plugins/products alltogether, but if I just turn off this product, nothing changes. I would assume it's another plugin, but this only started happening after I installed yours. How would I check if another one is clashing with this one?
