New Posting Features - Doublepost Prevention

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This modification has been withdrawn.
vBulletin 4.0.x and 4.1.x are no longer supported.

The feature is already built into the core vBulletin 4.2.x code.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


This is a current version of the popular modification, originally developed for the early 3.x series by Xenon.

Basically, if member posts in a thread where they were the previous last poster, then if the conditions are met, their new post will be auto-merged into the previous post instead of creating a new "double" post.

A number of options are provided ;

Time Limit - if more than xxx minutes have passed since the last post, no merge is done.

Timestamp Spacer - if enabled, a timestamped spacer is added between the old post text and the new post text.
Other spacer choices provided are no spacer, a default, or a custom spacer.

Spacer Colour - allows you to set the colour of the spacer between merged posts (if one is enabled).

Post Timestamp Update - if enabled the newly merged post will have its post time updated to the new time, otherwise it retains the time of the original post.

Usergroup exceptions - Allows you to exempt certain usergroups from the doublepost merges.

Forum exceptions - Allows you to exempt certain forums form the doublepost merges.

IP Address Check - Specifies if the poster IP should be checked, if enabled, the post will only be merged if the user and ip address are the same.

All settings are located in vBulletin Options > Doublepost Prevention.

To install just unzip the XML and import into vB using the ACP Product Manager.

What is SS ?

Same problem for me 4.1.8
I am running VBSEO

WHen testing.
First post 'test'

second post, 'test2'

starts a second post with
test
test2

in it.
Third post
'test3'

leaves the duplicate posts above and creates a new one with

'test'
'test2'
'test3'

so I now have seperate posts with

'test'

and

'test'
'test2'

and

'test'
'test2'
test3

instead of appending with the timestamps to just the first post, it is leaving the initial post and duplicating a new post with updated content

Has anyone managed to fix this duplication issue? Im using standard settings that come with this mod out of the box.
Brilliant mod, just need to get it working on my site ;/

I do not have vbseo running on any vB4 forum, so I realy couldnt tell you for certain.

There is no reason it shouldnt, but VBSEO can affect a lot of things depending on what features you have turned on.

Paul! Works great with vbseo too! Thanks for the quick response anyways!
