Prevent Doubleposting

When a User posts into a thread where he already has the lastpost, no new post will be added. The lastpost of him will be edited and the new text is put after his first message.
This will be done until the old post is older than 24 hours (you can change this timespan yourself)

Nothing more to say about that, it's the quite same as my vb3.0 version.

This Mod should run with 3.6 as well

For vb 3.8 there are two alternative updates ;

Thanks for getting back to me...

The Quick Reply problem is when someone does double post using Quick Reply, but the post shows as an additional post until the page is refreshed...then it shows as "merged".

There were two replies to this problem...one was to turn the Ajax features off...and the other was a code modification for vbulletin 3.5. So the code modification will not work...unless someone is using code for 3.6.8 PL2 of which I'm not aware.

As far as your statement goes about an editied post not showing as a new post...that's not true. An edited post will show as a new post...at least for 3.6.8 PL2 it does.

And as for the third problem...I guess I'll just sit back and watch the support come pouring in...LOL! Just kidding.

Again...thanks for the help...it's greatly appreciated...

Okay...

I've enabled "Disable Problematic Ajax Features" through the Admin CP...this seems to have taken care of the refresh problem. Hopefully, it won't cause any issues anywhere else. So #1 is taken care of.

As for #2...It doesn't matter whether this gets addressed or not...it's not really that important.

As for #3...I hope someone can provide me with the code I need to make it happen.

Thanks in advance...

How can I exclude certain forums from using this hack? Example I only want my selling and trading forums to use this hack and not my other forums???

That depends. It can do that, but then you have to put the "Bump Thread" setting to "yes". And standard it is set to no.
You could try setting this to "no" if you have it to "yes" and you don't want it as a new post.

I had running 3.6.8 pl2 before, at this moment I'm running 3.7.0 b5.

let's try this...thanks...

Does this work on vb 3.7?
Please add a function to exclude forums.

[Black Tiger]

It does work on 3.7. Could be some template text is slightly changed, but it does work. I've got it running on 3.7.0 b6. But I'm using the TMS which is an enormous releave for mods for which template edits are needed.
No more reverting and editting again when upgrading vBulletin.

Does this exclude Mods, Smods & Admin or is this hack for all usergroups ?

[mariocaz]

Yes you can exclude them.

can anyone help and tell me why and how to fix it??
