New Posting Features - Thread Splitter

This creates a new thread once a thead has reached a certain size and a user posts a new reply

NOTE
this does alter your thread table, it adds a new row (contnum) and a new index
it adds a new bbcode to your forum, so that the topic continue doesnt open a new window/tab

Install guide
when you install through the "manage products", a new set of options will appear in the vbulletin options->vbulletin options (defualt off)

this allows you to change the following settings:
userid of the post continuer - when a post is auto-closed a post is made that says it is closed, and a new thread is created with a post in it saying where the original is, this is posted auto by the user given (default 1)

reply count - the amount of posts before a thread is closed and split (default 500)

threadsplitter enabled - turn off/on the thread splitter (default off)

dont allow splits in X forums - add new forums by using ,. e.g 4,5 (default blank)

update subscriptions - update the users threadsubscriptions to the new thread if subscribed to the old one before split

unsticky old threads - unsticky the old threads after a continuation is made (default off)

So you can see the BBcode brackets and it doesn't link to the next/past thread.

I have the same issue. The BB code doesn't work.

Can someone please confirm if this hack works like a charm? I mean there are some shacky replies!

it doesn't work for me as per my post a few posts back. No response from Coder either, hasn't been on since Jan

I am using 3.7.3 PL1 and although this does split the thread, the bbcode that links one thread to another does not work. Also, in the new thread, it puts in the new split post (which is fine), but it also puts in a post from the previous thread, but seems to be a random post.

Is there anybody that has this running successfully on 3.6.* ?

yep, its also compatible with 3.7.

Somebody should close this since the code is obviously broken and the developer has abandoned it.

Anyone know of another mod like this that actually works?

[SBlueman]

Can anyone confirm if this works without issues on 3.6.12?

we are still using it on the forum it was developed for - now on 3.8.4

It kind of works on 3.8.4+ but the split tag does not work and it does not update subscriptions etc. Any chance anyone could port this mod to 3.8 ?? pretty please ??
