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As of 24 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.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.

[RedHacker]

What doing this choise "Update the timestamp of a doublepost." ....?

[Keyser S?ze]

its like, if u posted at 3pm, then double post 2 hours later and have that set to on, it will change the 3pm to 5pm, as if u never posted at 3 in the first place

personally i didnt like that so i set it to no

When I am logged in this works, but when I log in on any other account this does not work. why?

I noticed that when I post it is all ajax loading, but when I am logged in on any other account it always does a page reload which comes up with this message:

Thank you for posting! You will now be taken to your post. If you opted to post a poll, you will now be allowed to do so.

I think this may be why it is only working on my main. No idea why this message is coming up tho.

[Paul M]

That looks like the message you get when you create a new thread ?

If you get that any other time I would guess another plugin is causing it.

I was using your logged in as user hack while testing it on other accounts so not sure if that is the problem. either way, it is still not working for other people only myself, so I will start to disable other hacks and see if one is conflicting.

Update it is working only on some peoples accounts which just makes this stranger.
