New Posting Features - [USML] Advanced Link Posting Options

The [USML] Advanced Link Posting Options Version 1.1.0 allows you to prevent users from posting any kind of links in their signatures and/or in the forums (e.g. "www.vbulletin.com" AND "vbulletin.com") until they have reached a certain post count or a certain amount of reputation. This is basically a combination of a couple of modifications that have already been released, but I've added some new features.

------------------
Features
------------------

• Exclude certain usergroups from the restrictions put in place.
• Prevent links being posted until users:
  • Have reached a certain post count
  • Have reached a certain reputation amount

I'll have a look at this later tonight or tomorrow. Thanks

As always very useful mods..
I wish it can exclude links for images etc.

I don't use the post count and or reputation, instead I just make a generic reason so they don't flood the forum to meet the post count (I don't use reputation on site)

Thanks

Unfortunately, I am unable to reproduce this problem. So, you may have either 1.) a conflicting modification or 2.) your settings may not be correct.

To ensure your settings are set correctly...

1. Verify Enable Modification is set to Yes
2. Verify Enable Post Count Restriction (signature) is set to Yes
3. Verify the user(s) are not in the Excluded Usergroups (signature)

To find out if there's a conflicting modification, the only thing you can do is disable each of your modifications one by one to see which one is interfering.

Also, be sure that they're posting links in their signature, and not at the bottom of their posts as some users try to get around things by doing that as well. If that's happening, that's what the other settings are for

I have 2 small feature request if it is possible

1) Exclude internal links. I'd like it if new members could share things among the community internally. I think this could help conversations.

2) An option to prevent members from posting e-mail addresses. God knowing how troublesome those "bots" or sometimes real people are, who send this kind of message.

I think you're cute... blah...blah...blah.... Please e-mail me at

this@that.whatever

Phishing spam I call it.

I'm not sure how to do that

It should already do this

OK. It was worth asking and thanks for confirming that the other feature should work too.

tagged (will apply once I've updated the site).

I think this will be replacing an older modification (a collection of 2 or 3 of them).
