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.

How do i put a message like AUTO MERGED , or something like that in between so n00bs can understand. i read the who thread the given suggestions are not as per "Hack Version: 1.6" . It wil b nice if some1 can help me out. :ermm:
One of my moderators just brought this to my attention. Is it possible to have the query which updates a post in the case of a doublepost to also update the post dateline so that users are aware there is new content?
Exactly. The hack is a great idea, but if the aforementioned function does not work, it becomes a big hinderance. I have a specific example on this forum.
I posted a code request.
A coder provided a response.
I replied with "Thanks, I'll give it a try."
I had a problem with the code and responded, but it simply editted the previous post.
As far as I know, no thread update was sent as if there was a new post, and the thread was not bumped. It seems the timeframe here is set really long as well, because responding today did the same thing. The hack is definitely a great idea and much needed but those need to be fixed.
Also, the function needs to be disabled as soon as someone posts after you so as to not have your response post in the previous post to their question (I'm not sure if this is even the case, but just thought it should be mentioned).
From same author in 3.7.3.1 and it is working great. Just extra info (not to mention surprising!) I needed to do VERY MINIMAL tweaks after installing the product linked above (older version of this hack) to have it fully working in 3.7.3 PL1
I might guess it should work for 3.6.x as well, but what needs tweaking might be different. You probably need a good idea of PHP to see where it isn't working quite right though. I didn't make a note of what changed.
