Last Reply Alert: Add last reply alert under new reply button

The alert warns members that the thread is days, weeks, months, or years old. You can set when the alert first starts to show. See screenshots. Import one product. Edit one template. That's it. Enjoy!

Well if you ever get around to it, that would be great. Thanks again for the mod.

Once again thanks. What would have to be done to have the time of the plast reply to be more current? And to include years?

Go to 'Last Reply Alert' in vB Options to make the alert appear ealier. Days, weeks, months, and years are automatically done for you in the product.

Awesome. Thank you very much. This should stop people from replying to old threads.

How many query will be added ?

[Ryan McBain]

If you choose to update this I have an idea.

When the last reply comes out at a week, month or a year exactly, it always shows more than a week month year ect. My idea would be to show that it has been a week, month or year since the last reply rather than more when its the exact time. Just a thought. Once again thanks

I don't think there will be any queries added with this hack...Calorie?

@Zia: None.

@Ryan McBain: Thanks, 'more than' seemed to fit, as exact is only exact for the second, unless of course you're looking at days on the whole. Also, there's going to be a bit of rounding here and there, as it uses 86400 seconds for day, 7 days for week, 30 days for month, 365 days for year, obviously not accounting for leap seconds, months with 28 or 31 days, leap years, etcetera. To be more precise, it'd probably be better then to report the actual date and time of the last post rather than output an 'X whatever ago' message. If you want to have the date and time, just reimport the product and set the 'Text Format' setting to no.

@Milez: Correct.
