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, attachments will be added to the old post as well.
This will be done until the old post is older than 1 hour (you can change this timespan yourself)
by changing $do_bump in the script, you can define wether the post's time will be altered or not.

Enjoy, and don't forget to click install

Notice: If you have installed the Proxy ip to real ip conversion or Proxy Detector v3.1 Hack, then you should probably take a look at this post.

I heard this does something bad to the search engine in vBulletin - something about psots not being indexed properly? Is this correct?

[Xenon]

nope, that's an incorrect information you have.

The search engine problem on vb.org lately have a totally other reason.

installed and love it. thank you.

one question - would it be possible to exclude certain usergroups from following the auto-merge rule (so certain usergroups can make multiple posts in a row)?

thanks again!

[Acers]

yep, just add the to the condition

PHP Code:

if ($type != 'thread' AND $threadinfo['lastpost'] > TIMENOW - $dp_settings['timespan'] AND $threadinfo['lastposter'] == $post['postusername']) 


that part:

PHP Code:

AND !in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], array(1,2,3))
