Merge thread complication.

Instead you have to get the whole URL for the thread you want to merge.
Kinda sucks.

Dave.

edit postings.php, find:

PHP Code:

$getthreadid=intval(substr($mergethreadurl,strpos($mergethreadurl,"threadid=")+9)); 


replace it as:

PHP Code:

if (strlen($mergethreadurl)<10)
{
$getthreadid=intval($mergethreadurl);
}
else
{
$getthreadid=intval(substr($mergethreadurl,strpos($mergethreadurl,"threadid=")+9));
} 


Now that field accepts both URL and thread id only.
