Doublepost Prevention · **Released**: 01-30-2009

As of 24 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.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

History:

v3.8.001 : First Release for vB 3.8.
v3.8.002 : Phrased the post separater.
v3.8.003 : Added JS Template - removing need to edit quick reply javascript file.
v3.8.004 : Updated spacer options.
v3.8.005 : Updated timestamp spacer to fix issue with large merge times.

Thanks Paul. Sorry for the confusion. I'll keep searching!

If more than one guest answers, the posts are merged, too. Is there a way to check the ip-address to prevent replies from different guests will be merged?

Paul M · #**274** 10-13-2009, 11:49 AM

Hmmm.

This was never designed with guest posting in mind, since that is very rare.

I'll have a look when I can to see if it can be modified to take that into account.

So far so good. Looks like a VERY helpful mod.

elieve there may be an issue with the Automerge for forums where posts go into a moderation queue... I think maybe it is using the aproval date not the post date .. see this thread..

http://www.ls1.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=128872

For some reason the OP and thread starter has the #2 post after a merging even though the post above it was posted after the OP. The thread should consist of 3 posts but it has merged the first and third posts thinking its a double post.

Any idea why this is happening ??

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
